I have seen this happen before and it ALWAYS occurs on Blue & White G3s running 9.2.2 with OS X installed. There is no recovery for DW, it will eventually crash with a memory error. You could let it run if you don't need the machine. There's no harm in letting it try. But I predict that you will be reinitializing that drive soon.<<< --------------------------------- Just curious if this bad behavior has been tied to defective RAM? Over on www.macintouch.com for some time now there have been user reports of some very odd problems that have been traced to "defective RAM". This RAM apparently works well under just OS 9.x, but an install of X can cause memory problems to begin showing. Removing RAM upgrades and running with the original RAM seems to work, as does new replacements for the RAM upgrades. Jerry -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
