The occurred under sorta heavy load, around 1.8 or so. The kernel just upped
and killed cdparanoia that was ripping an entrire cd..occured at track 6. The
system is a Suse 6.0 AMD 200 k6 80 MB ram (EDO DIMM) and 80MB swap with about
700 k of the swap used.
What is going on here?
Here are the kernel messages.
