slow system freeze

[Benjamin Lutz]

Hello,

It's been two months since this thread was started. To recap, I repeatedly 
encountered what was identified by the gurus here as filesystem deadlock, 
which froze my machine.

Now, after some time, I have an additional observation to add: The 
deadlock *only* happens when Quanta (KDE HTML Editor) is running (for 
some time, say, 1-5 hours). Since it's the only application causing this, 
it appears to me that Quanta is somehow misbehaving (and maybe hitting a 
weak spot in FreeBSD that isn't relevant normally because apps don't 
misbehave this way).

I'm short on time at the moment (lots of big compsci tests :) ), but I'll 
try to find out what the last is that Quanta does before it crashes the 
system. In the meantime... I'd be interested in knowing whether other 
folks here can reproduce this behaviour. (System is FreeBSD-5.3-RELEASE, 
newest KDE from ports). Thanks :)

Benjamin
