I've been running 2.1.128 since last night; uptime of around 23 hours or
so. I then experienced a lock of some sort. It occurred while I was
running configure for latest CVS of achtung in an Eterm while playing an
mp3 in replay. The mp3 continued to play until the end of the song when
it did not advance to the next one. I could switch vc's and type username
and password but bash would not start. Since I have sysrq compiled in, I
killed all processes running on tty7 (X) and that worked, but I was still
unable to log in at a console prompt. Then, the next mp3 in the queue
began to play; still unable to log in or do anything else, I proceeded to
sync,unmount, and reboot. Any ideas? I do have a process list (but not
with me) of what was running as well as the output of alt-sysrq-t if
needed.

Please reply back to me directly as well since I am not subscribed to l-k
with this address.

Thanks,
