Just wanted to add to Linus' posting to upgrade to pl13. This is
precisely my experience. I had numerous problems with pl12 that
caused the machine to go "out to lunch". My suspicion was a
memory management leak. In fact, if I just left the machine idle for
a sufficient length of time, it would sometimes lock.
pl13 is very stable (for me so far) and I've experienced no "hangs".
Just one thing, when I ran the "bouncing ball" x-demo, it took so many
resources the mouse became unusable. It was very difficult to exit.
Any ideas?
