You know I run [EMAIL PROTECTED] clients on some machines and we had a similar
problem. What we found was that some very specific sse optimizations would
cause issues on only some athlons. Mostly the thourobred b's and bartons. I'm
not sure the reason you are seeing this and it only occurred when pushing the
cpu's very hard.
I also know since i have started rebuilding the mandrake rpm's with some
extreme optimizations that I do not see this behavior at all on my mandrake
boxen. However I have had issues with the mandrake builds of mozilla for
about 2 years now they just randomly lock up, completely crash, or the one
that really bugs me is that after a while of use it gets so that you can not
select text in the address bar. You have to shut it down to fix this. Because
of this I almost never use the mandrake rpm's for mozilla.
My regular usage is to have 1 or 2 mozilla windows open with maybe 10 or 15
tabs per window. This I have running for possibly weeks. With the mandrake
builds I get maybe 3 or 4 days max.
