Hi

Peter: No, this is not an overclocked system. This is an IBM laptop.

Natalie: What do you consider a recent kernel? A released one (2.6.21), a
release candidate or a bleeding edge one (e.g. GIT)?

At the moment I am on 2.6.21. But I have turned off any OpenGL app as I use
this system as a productive one and don't like to have severe crashes here and
then.

A test is not so simple as these crashes really are infrequent. When I posted
the bug, it took something between half an hour and 2 weeks between the
crashes. The only similarity was that always an OpenGL app was running (e.g.
OpenGL screensaver). Before I started using OpenGL (and after I disabled OpenGL
apps) the system never crashed.

Secondly, such a crash often led to data loss on my system. It seemed to help
to switch on the sync option on the disk driver, but that slowed down the
system noticebly.

So, do you have any specific reason that the problem could be cured in a recent
kernel?

Thanks and best regards

Michael
