Thanks to all who've tried to help. I've used most of the suggestions
I've been given but trying to catch the crashes has been like trying
to catch fish in the middle of the Sahara. I've loaded the heck out
of the box until it was swapping 300 megs I had several terminals
open with various meathods of waching for problems. All of this told
me nothing.
The one thing that seems to be pertinant at this point is that for
about 24 hours I had gtk-gnutella turned off. 4 hours after
restarting it the box crashed. Perhaps this is a hint? Gtk-gnutella
was one of the updates I did just before this whole situation
started. I have reverted to the old version and am going to leave it
running on another desktop and see what happens.
I need to make it very clear that I appreciate all the effort that
you've all put in to this. Even if I don't find a solution, I've
learned a few more tricks. Great people, these Gentooers.... Freely
giving what they learned the same way.
