Sorry for this sketchy bug report, but this I cannot reproduce it,
no matter what i try. It just happens. Here's the deal - occasionally
(at least once a day), always while running XawTV, XFree86, and
Enlightenment, the entire system will just freeze - no hard drive
activity, nothing updates on the screen, and SysRq-commands will not
work. This has only happened, AFAIK, with kernels pre3 and above,
currently pre4-1. Here are some specs:

RedHat 6.1, XFree86 3.3.6, Utah-GLX CVS, Enlightenment 0.16.3 & 0.16.4
CVS, XawTV 3.10 & 3.11.

Hardware:
STB/Gateway TV/FM Card, Bt848 chipset
AMD K6-2 450, not overclocked. 128 MB RAM. MSI/Gateway motherboard, ALi
1541 chipset, the rest from lspci:
00:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 06)
00:12.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt848 TV with
DMA push (rev 12)
00:14.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP
1X/2X (rev 5c)

I'm also using a USB mouse w/ OHCI.

That's all I can think of that is relevant. If you
