One more little complaint.. why doesn't vger replace the FROM to
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org like any other sane mailing list ... i
keep going to Reply and not sending to the list. At least add a
reply-to tag like the proftpd mailing list has if you want to keep the
FROM tag as the original sender.
attached mail follows:

When in doubt. . Blame it on the biggest piece of crap around .. X. One can
say using a cvs of X is the cause of this by somehow i doubt it would matter. X
needs a sane make system and i'll bet 10:1 that it's the root of this shm usage.
But it should not be crashing the OS ...which does occur since i just went down a
couple minutes ago. Right now it's increasing 1 segment a second it seems. it's
at 1200 now and i give it about 30 more minutes before i crash again. I'm gonna
run this on the test8-vm3 patched kernel i had before that was VERY good except
for that deadlock problem that caused me to crash after 7 days. If the shm usage
is insane on that then i'll believe it is X's fault. be back with the results
in a few minutes.
