Total computer lockups usually point to an issue with your hardware, drivers, or underlying OS. Modern operating systems and hardware should never allow an application to completely hang the computer, so when that happens, it's usually an indication of a problem with the host computer.
"Should"? I'm sorry, but I'm far too cynical to take "should" as definitive of _anything_. I suspect that hardware (particularly with the climate I live in) or drivers are at fault, but I would like to track down which. I would like to know why only certain aircraft have done this, and why they do it reliably: Every time, and after approximately the same period of time. Presumably, there are commonalities between the aircraft, such as YASIM/whatever, as Dene suggested, or something similar. When I have the time, I will look into that. It is, however, only FlightGear that has resulted in this sort of lockup since Netscape stopped being the only decent full-graphics browser available for Linux. I also have TORCS (torcs.sf.net), and have spent considerably more time in that than in FlightGear. I turn the graphics up to as high a quality and resolution as my hardware can take, and spend considerable amounts of time driving, with no problem. X-server crashes I have had, CPU race conditions I have killed, but total lockups? Only in FGFS. Somehow, somewhere, FGFS is doing something that is either wrong, or that exposes a problem. The question is: What? Actually, I know that other people from Brisbane are on this list, so if you happen to read this, could you tell me what your cooling setup is? Please?
