I know this was a couple of weeks ago but I finally started getting 
lockups with bulletins turned on, but I can't be absolutely sure of 
what's causing them. I first suspected xfbb because it appeared to 
happen around housekeeping at 2.00am, but the next night the time was 
different, and then it happened through the day when, in a sense, 
nothing was happening except the usual apps - fpac, fbb, xastir - were 
running. The system has been stable for near two years so it's hard to 
point the finger at the "usual" things.

The only thing different that I did over the weekend was to change the 
zoom level on the maps I use. I normally run 270 to see the local digi 
coverage area but I took this to 700 to keep an eye on a mobile about 
150km away. In total, the machine locked up 4 times in two days.

Since turning off bulletins, and retaining zoom 700, the machine hasn't 
locked up again.

The maps are topographic maps, if that is significant.
