Or the hardware is broken. Running a specfic program may exercise the
broken hardware in a way that causes it to fail, while other programs
do not.
If the OP runs Debian OOTB, okay. But, Gene does anything but that.
if debian kept the popular aps up to date, I'd use them. T-bird is an
example. With suricata gone its still going out to lala - land while
fetching new mail. The beta is in .xz format, unpacked into it own
/home/gene/thunderbird directory is running fine. The only real problem
is its creating and using a whole new mail directory, and none my
sorting filters yet exist. With suracata gone, it says it connected to
imap.server at my isp, collecting 599 msgs to catch up, but goes out to
lunch for an hour using 100% of a core, the gui is dead, mouse clicks
anyplace are ignored, killall kills it instantly. Just did a
full-upgrade, 7 security pkgs, now its fetching the same 577 headers &
htop thinks its running ok. But it got to the last header count, went
to 100.5% of a core, no response to a mouse click any place. This is
your t-bird doing that, beta is working fine, you are reading it.
Merry Christmas all.
