unexplained system lock up
United States	2008-03-18 00:07:04
I run the same application twice. What I mean is I changed one of the applications by moving it to a different app name using mv. I changed all string names in the plist to match the new name and changed the binary name to match also. Every so often my I Imac intel running leopard will freeze up with what sounds like the disk is busy. I do not see that my changing the application name would have an effect on this but I am not sure. Is there some bug in the Imac intel that occurs that would explain this hangup (freeeze)? ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Lockups, in my experience, are often associated with hardware problems, like poorly seated RAM modules, or bad ones. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
