On *very* random intervals my apache web server running linux-2.0.33 SMP
with some of the "secure-linux" patches freezes, the screen remains black,
no keyboard, nothing, only a hard reset will bring the system back to life.
Three points:
--> The logs don't show *any* "oops" or anything that could hint us what is
the offending piece of software/hardware...
--> and I said random because the computer ran for 8 days without any
problems. Before that it ran for 5 days. I think 'tis something to do with
SMP, since we own an Asus dual Pentium II.
--> The ONLY thing that was abnormal was that when I asked a process listing
(a normal ps xa dump), the process (kswapd) showed an absurd running time
(something like 239873423 hours, whilst the system was up for only 7 days).
That's weird :)
Did you guys have any similar experience? I'm downgrading to UP, though :(

ps.: My hardware is really normal: 128 M of memory, IDE hd, NE2000
compatible ethernet, etc. I find it very surprising a stable kernel locking
up like this... I'm looking forward for 2.0.34 ! ;)
