I think I just figured out the cause of a very annoying problem. My Linux box has been seemingly randomly locking up. Happens every few days ago. I thought it was my machine going bad, until I have reproduced this one 4 other similar linux boxes.
Basically, I am using Redhat Enterprise 3.0, make 3.79.1, g++ 3.2.3 In reality, I guess this probably isn't a probleml with make, as an application shouldn't cause the machine to lockup. But was wondering if anyone had an idea as too what make, or maybe the compiler is doing to tick the machine off so bad. Basically, to lock my machine up, or any machien(all Redhat ES3) around here, all I need to do is hit Ctrl-C when I am building my app, they key point here is it will only lock up, if it is in a Makefile, that was called from a higher level makefile. Anyone here of this before? Its probably a kernel issue, just wondering if anyone a clue as to why Make seems to cause this. Yes, I've already decided to stop "changing" my mind when starting to build. I just let it build all the way through now instead of hit ctrl-c to interupt it. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
