Due to some trouble with my X server (DRM, *sigh*) I just had a couple
of quick crashes while logging off X sessions. But upon restart, I've
found that some files in my home directory that were likely being
written at crash time -- .xmms, .galeon, and .licq -- ended up filled
entirely with NULs ('\0').
I'm running Andrea Arcangeli's kernel, which is based on 2.4.21pre7
but which contains quite a lot of VM development, as well as an update
to: "SGI XFS 1.3.0pre2 with ACLs, no debug enabled". When I reported
this problem to Andrea, he suggested I pass on the report to this list,
because he could think of no reason for it in his patches.
Any help? Clues? Please? I fear I may be stuck with either
downgrading to ext3 or abandoning Andrea's kernel....
