Hello all,
I have a SS4 (32Meg) with a 2.0_BETA install from releng (20040531000),
running GENERIC. Since it is my "always-on" machine with few tasks (dyndns
updates, private FTP, ssh gateway) I decided it could be used to run some
bittorrents...
However, either the bitorrent process (that is, the python interpreter) or
the fact that load is heavy causes a machine lock-up; sometimes silent,
sometimes with a "Watchdog" message.
So far, I have only been able to cause that to happen with
"btlaunchmanycurses.py" which is why I am suspecting the heavy load issue
somewhat.
I have't done any kernel debugging, but if someone tells me what to do to
obtain more info, I'd be happy to oblige. I have other (i386) NetBSD and
Linux machines on my network, so provided I can get a Sparc-PeeCee null
modem cable I could do remote debugging.
Joe.
