[Xastir] Re: [Xastir} Still getting crashes

[Brian D Heaton]

Jack,

	If you're having problems with other apps too there are 3 basic things
you can check.

1 - Does Yast2 have the capability to run some type of integrity check
on all the files on the system which are owned by packages?  You may
have a hosed library from an unclean restart

2 - Type "cat /proc/interrupts" and see if the serial line is sharing
and interrupt with anything

3 - Make a memtest86 bootdisk and reboot with it in.  Do this in the
evening before you go to bed and let it run overnight.  (
http://www.memtest86.com ) You can also set memtest86 up as a boot
target in grub/lilo.  I don't see anything that really points to a
memory problem, but its a cheap and easy test to rule it out.

Especially since minicom appears hosed up on your system I'm a bit
suspicious about some of the system libraries.
