whether just the application is crashing or the whole computer
(Linux).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would second the hardware idea, with emphasis on
generic hardware, especially RAM. I had a Suse 10 box that kept crashing
and doing funny stuff. I ended up running an extended RAM test on it--one
of those pattern sensitivity tests that takes an hour or two to run.
Turned out that one of the SIMMs I had just bought and installed had a subtle
problem. It would never show up on a straightforward test, but certain
address ranges would fail on one or two of the exotic pattern
tests.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It came from a reputable vendor who does 100%
testing themselves, so it was apparently subtle enough to slip through their
test. They took it back and replaced it. I ran for a few weeks
without the module with no crashes and when I put the replacement in everything
was still fine.</FONT></DIV>
