| |
I just ran netscape which for some reason or another went totally whacky and gobbled RAM. It has done this before and made the box totally unuseable in 2.2.17-2.2.19 befor the kernel killed 90% of my running apps before getting the right one. This time, it OOM'd and killed Netscape and I got control back instantly. This is with 2.4.2. I hope this is a good sign!
