Non-maskable interrupt trap

2010-03-06 Thread Marco Beishuizen

Hi,

Fot the first time in years I had a kernel panic in FreeBSD (8.0-ST). 
While playing a flash movie in Firefox (3.6), everything just locked up 
and only resetting helped. After the reboot it wrote a corefile in 
/var/crash/ which is unfortunately too big to read by any text editor. The 
trap number is 19 and the current process was 11.


Hope that someone has an idea what has caused this. I just can't imagine 
that a flash plugin is able to crash FreeBSD.


Regards,
Marco

Corefiles are binary, not usefully readable with anything text
oriented.  See the Handbook section on Kernel Debugging for how
to get a backtrace from it.

One possible cause is a driver bug in some obscure corner case that
the flash player tried to use.
