While something has improved, the problem seems to still be there; it triggers much less often, and behaves different. For now, I've only managed to trigger it using mutt, the moment I "send" mail, it happens like 90% of the times. I can now, tho, edit files with vim without turning crazy. My brother, who uses the computer (I only ssh to it) hasn't noticed any problem, therefore if the problem isn't fixed, it is well hidden. Also, when I trigger it, it doesn't seem to affect whatever I/O is being done in paralel of the task that caused it, which makes me think it triggers far more often than I notice. Haven't tried -4, should I? I think I've heard it only fixes build-as-module problems, but I really don't know. Thanks, Roc Vallès Domènech -- - Do you study theories? - Oh yes!
