It's not entirely unusual for dist-upgrades to segfault in various pre- and post-installation scripts. That doesn't happen very often, though, and it seems to be the same packages every time (e.g. zsh), so I'm not sure whether it is a Perl problem or not. I'll try to take a closer look at it next time it happens. > - bind9 hangs after a few days I installed bind9 on the development box now, to see if I can reproduce it. > - occasionally the box just stalls and returns to the bootprom > - sometimes it just dies and we have to power-cycle it Apart from xdm, which oopses all our Indys, I have seen very few crashes like this on the various Indys I use. They are great X terminals. :) -- Kristoffer.
