SubjectSystem freeze

It's happened three times today. I've built and installed a 2.0.34 kernel.

Twice the freeze happened soon after I used the su command to switch to
root. The first I think also involved su.

By freeze I mean
1 System does not respond to keyboard (can't change the state of
lights) or mouse (cursor invisible once. visible but immobile the last).
2 The last time I thought to ping from the next machine. No
response.

Recovery technique: get a pointed object and press the little red button.

System:
PII-233 64 Mb non-ECC RAM. ASUS P2l97-S M/b, 2x EIDE drives, 1 EIDE CD
drive. 1 Fujitsu M2513A Removable (somewhat sick) MO SCSI drive. The
drive's been playing up for some time and unless it's misbehaviour
provokes a new bug, it's probably not connected to the problem. Supporting
this is that I did nothing just before the freezes that affected the
drive.
ISA NE2000 clone (by Danpex).
SMC 9432 (EPIC100).
ES1868-based sound card (M ATI've not got it working propoerly yet, but I
don't think that's relevant).
ASUS S3 card - S3TRIO64V2.
floppy. No printer. Serial ports not in use (but cabled to each other).

The hardware configuration's been stable for months.


Software:
RedHat 5.0+
XFree86-3.3.2-5
Here's the result of running a script to sho most of my updates:
+ KDIR=/RedHat/updates/
+ KFILE=/RedHat/updates/linux-2..tar.gz
+ KBASEDIR=/usr/src/
+ grep d ver
+ insmod --version
insmod version 2.1.85
++ gcc --version
+ echo gcc version 2.7.2.3
gcc version 2.7.2.3
+ ld -v
GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1.0.4)
+ ls -lG /lib/libc.so.5 /lib/libc.so.5.4.44 /lib/libc.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 14 May 12 04:09 /lib/libc.so.5 ->
libc.so.5.4.44
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 35500 May 12 04:09 /lib/libc.so.5.4.44
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 13 May 12 02:54 /lib/libc.so.6 ->
libc-2.0.7.so
+ ldd --version
+ grep ldd
ldd (GNU libc) 2.0.7
+ ls -Gl /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2 /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 17 May 8 17:49 /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2 ->
libg++.so.2.7.2.8
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root 917797 Nov 4 1997 /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8
+ ps --version
procps version 1.2.4
+ procinfo -v
This is procinfo version 13 (1998-03-07)
+ mount --version
mount: mount-2.7l
+ hostname -V
net-tools 1.432
hostname 1.96 (1996-02-18)
+ basename --v
basename (GNU sh-utils) 1.16
+ automount --version
Linux automount version 3.1.1
+ showmount --version
Universal NFS Server 2.2beta29
+ echo exit
+ bash -version
GNU bash, version 1.14.7(1)
+ ncpmount -v
/root/bin/kprereqs: ncpmount: command not found
+ grep version
+ pppd -v
++ which pppd
+ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/pppd
ppp-2.3.5-1M ;X

(pppd segfaults on this system).


The third freeze followed these commands:
su -l
cd /var/log
grep -i bogo messages

The system didn't respond to the grep command (except by returning the
text cursor). I believe the grep command started processing, but no more.

I was running in an XFree window at the time.
