there's a huge bug in 2.1.91:
Whenever I run a "rather large" job (like compiling a kernel or starting
X), the system starts swapping, swaps, swaps and does this until a hard
reset. There's absoutely no possiblilty to do anything, that will trace
that error.
But it's nice to see: I was printing a huge document of a few hundered
pages. My printer finishes about one page per minute. Then I started
X (with an .xsession, which startx xemacs and four xterms).
The system froze after displaying the first xterm. Only my harddisk
was *very* busy. And my printer: Well it made now approx. two lines (!)
per minute. One page took about 20 minutes (!!).
I am terribly sorry, but as I said above, I didn't have the slightest
chance to trace anything. Just in case you need it: My system
is a 486/50, 20Megs RAM, 128 MB swap partition, Kernel 2.1.91)
Ciao and thank you
Christoph
