Hi,

Those freezes occur frequently under specific conditions - when I
listen to Internet radio using mplayer compiled by myself *AND*
packaging system (sub)directories (using MC option "Compress the current
subdirectory": F2,3).

The freezes are total. I'm not able to look into any system logs etc.
RESET is the only option at that time.

How to check it? What to do to have it registered in a log? Did you
face the system behavior by yourself? Could someone check it on i386
platform? For example, compressing every directory from /usr/pkg and
playing:
xterm -title "Radio Israel" -geometry 50x15+0+0 \
 -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2 \
 -sl 1000 -cr yellow -bg blue -fg white -e np_radio_israel

You can turn off the speaker if do not want to listen. :-) I give
you the details in order to "simulate" my environment as close as
possible. So one more file (/etc/sysctl.conf):

# Number of kernel threads to use for NFS client
#vfs.nfs.iothreads=4
vfs.generic.usermount=1
kern.maxfiles=4096
kern.maxproc=1024

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,
pp
