I have a patched-2.0.10 up for about 259 days. I've had problems
with sendmail aplenty, but apache and atalkd are still up and happy and
both are taking a light pounding. The machine hasn't been too flaky yet
with one excpetion: I've recently come across a very bizzare problem with
zsh where the termcap seems screwed up. About two weeks ago, something
went wrong. Now when you are presented with a prompt, the first two
characters you type appear as normal, but the rest of them won't appear
until you hit return twice, and then the command is executed. This happens
only on the machine that has been up for 259 days; the same binary (copied
over) and library versions work on all of my other boxes w/o a problem. I
even statically linked the shell executable on a working machine, copied
it over, and it didn't work. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with rc.
files either. Wierd.
If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I hate to reboot the sucker
just because my favorite shell stopped working with the kernel image.
(All of my other shells don't have any problems whatsoever.)
