Hello.
I'm having stability issues on my desktop system running FreeBSD 8.2-R
on amd64. It happens quite often that some application (say web browser)
goes nuts and totally locks-up my system.
When it happens it looks like the application is frozen but I can't kill
it. WCPU usage goes up rapidly and after a while system doesn't respond
to anything than brutal hard reset.
I guess it's not the system itself to blame, but it would be good if it
could handle misbehaving programs. What I'm looking for is some kind of
protection from system lock ups. I don't mind when the browser hangs,
but I don't want it to kill my whole system.
Any suggestions, hints, ideas please?
I am aware that it's a workaround to the problem instead of a real
solution, but that's what is needed.

I find sometimes viewing flash video with firefox causes the machine to
appear to hang. In fact killing all instances of npviewer.bin frees
everything up again. I usually have an xterm open just in case.
Don't have a problem with other apps so this might not be the solution
for you.
My firefox is 3.6.10, flashplayer is linux-f10-flashplugin-10.1r85 and
I'm on 8.1R x86
