Re: process killed

[Brian Hays <brian.hays@gmail.com>]

Just wanted to give an update on this ... I upgraded to the latest
"stable" version and this now runs fine. The process still gets
mysteriously "killed" in the unstable version. I've noticed other
programs getting killed in the unstable version as well, such as
running mozilla during a vnc session, running asterisk CLI, openoffice
via vnc (these run fine in "stable"). ....guess that's why it's called
"unstable" :-) but I thought I'd report it just in case it's a sign of
a bigger problem in the new version.

Thanks,
Brian
