- My 220's Xserver hangs in AIX 3.2.0 quite frequently and seems to be related
- to my network crashing at the same time. I lose ethernet (cannot ping to IBM
- from another host), I lose my slip (things go out bug don't come back) and
- I lose my loopback - e.g., cannot ping localhost anymore. After this
- happens (e.g., network goes down), I can either expect X to go within five
- minutes or 888's with "UNKNOWN" problem codes in the error log. Sometimes
- these crashes are preceeded by tty overruns on my slip line, sometimes
- not.
-
- I have not tried logging in to another tty and cat'ting garbage to the
- hfs, but I'll try it.
