Hy folks,

a week ago I've upgraded to SLS99p6 timestamp of our ftp-server was 12'Mar.

Now I've several problems (more than I had with pre96) I'm losing mails&news
because of open() sometimes not work, every third poll I need to start uuxqt
by hand :-( (uucico is started by dialin)

I've had X server crashs and totaly server hangups :-( Last server crash I had
was with Xfig under pre96.

I've try'd to install 99p7A, and things get even worse :-(
I've installed libc4.3.2 but thing dont get better :-(
Also I tried to increase NR_FILE to 256 but that dont seams to change anything.

I dont had 'sudden logouts' perhaps because I'm working under X all the time ?
But sometimes xterm doesnt come up :-( I think xterm could'nt start bash ?

Perhaps its a library related thing, so here is my /lib

My hardware :
        4dx33, 8 MB Ram, 9 MB Swap
        TSENG ET4000, 16450 & 16550,
        AHA1542b with disk and tape, ide disk (only for dos & swap)

My linux/.config (99p7A)
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD = CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD
        CONFIG_TCPIP = CONFIG_TCPIP
        CONFIG_MAX_16M = CONFIG_MAX_16M
        CONFIG_M486 = CONFIG_M486
        CONFIG_SCSI = CONFIG_SCSI
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD = CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ST = CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ST
        CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542 = CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542
        CONFIG_MINIX_FS = CONFIG_MINIX_FS
        CONFIG_EXT_FS = CONFIG_EXT_FS
        CONFIG_EXT2_FS = CONFIG_EXT2_FS
        CONFIG_MSDOS_FS = CONFIG_MSDOS_FS
        CONFIG_PROC_FS = CONFIG_PROC_FS
        CONFIG_AUTO_IRQ = CONFIG_AUTO_IRQ

Ok I'll now downgrade to 99p2 and wait for Yr answer (Oh yes I've enoug space
for holding 2 roots :-)
