This has to be a bug...

My system:
FreeBSD jsmith.org 5.2.1-RC FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC #0: Mon Feb  2 12:06:30 EST 
2004     root at jsmith.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  i386

with 512 meg of RAM

I have downloaded and installed the linux version of America's Army 
2.0.0a and run it as an ordinary user (it's even installed in an 
ordinary user's account rather then /usr/local).

Sometimes --- when there are several windows open on my machine --- 
running it reboots the machine. Other times it runs perfectly (like 
right after a reboot). Sometimes, when it fails (particularly the first 
time after a fresh install of it), it corrupts the file system in a way 
that requires one to manually run fsck. The first time I used the 
America's Army, even the manual fsck couldn't fix the fs corruption: 
there was a message "unrecoverable softupdates error".  I was able to 
mount the partition, back up my data, rebuild the file system, and 
restore the data.


America's Army is a HUGE program (it uses almost 2 gig installed). Any 
suggestions?
