From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux 2.4.20-27.8; X11; i686; , en_US, en) Description of problem: CPU: Toshiba saltellite 1903 laptop, phoenix bios. Linux: 8.0 Goto my home dir, /home/lpimmes dev is a large directory within home. Now, zip this directory, as in: zip -r dev.zip dev Output appears on console, as expected. THEN, after 3-4 min. or so, immediate power off of computer. Now, try tracing: zip -r dev.zip dev > powerOff.txt Normal termination of zip program. Examine output, check to check: kwrite powerOff.txt Editor comes up normally, and I can scroll to bottom of file. But, now try less less powerOff.txt Output appears, press space bar a few times. Ok, no problem. But, hold down space bar and continue holding... after 1-2 min. Immediate powerdown of cpu. Other large directories will zip without power-off, but when very large directories are zipped (with console output) then I get immediate power-off. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-27.8 How reproducible: Many times on certain directories and certain conditions. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above. 2. 3. Actual Results: Immediate powerdown occurs in most cases, after repeating, the above. Expected Results: Of course, the computer should not power off, just terminate whatever program I am running. If an error message is appropriate, it should give me one. Additional info: Other directories zip without incident. Less works, except in the above case.
