Signal 11 - X crashes, Stuffit and Go resets, spinning A: drive
Hello again,
Beware that sometimes when executor dies, the next time you try to restart
it it might kill X. For example, get a copy of celpaint.sit.hqx from
mac.archive.umich.edu in the graphics/graphicsutil directory and try
running it, crashes executor. Then start executor again and I get booted
from X, the X server shuts down and it says something like caught signal
11. This is probably because since executor died it didn't get to clean
up any shared memory it was using or such. My current setup is X11R6 with
XFree86 3.1.1 with a Mach8 (ATI Graphics Ultra 1 Meg) server.
Also I had a weird experience that after running StuffIt expander, Go
totally reset itself and all the programs and folders and things that I
had put into the bar were gone.
Lastly, why does executor spin my /dev/fd0 everytime it starts up?
