I think there's problem in both the kernel and in X. Why?
Work machine: * test9-pre2 w/ X 4.0d ... uptime 5 days nothing reporting shm errors like my other boxes. This machine gets hit pretty hard when I'm on it.
Co-worker's machine: * 2.2.16 w/ X 4.0.1c ... getting reports of shm errors but no lockups. This guy tortures his machine.
Home machine: * test7 w/ X 4.0.1c ... getting reports of shm errors but no lockups
* test9-pre* w/ X 4.0.1c ... can't stay up for more than a couple hours before locking up.
To do: * Try test 8 * Try X from about a week or two ago (or futher back if needed)
Not very scientific I know. But so far the thing I see in common is that using kernels before test9-pre* with or without X 4.0.1c and your machine wont lock up in a relatively short period of time. use test9-pre* w/ X 4.0.1c and you're not gonna be up for more than a couple hours. i may be lumping all the test9-pre versions in here when I shouldnt be.
Like someone stated earlier, I think this is like the truncate bug. Something has been changed that just brought this bug out to the front.
