From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: reported by Lou Lohman <LLohman@WeberMarking.com> My problem arises out of the fact that we have a serious bug in a program that comes as part of the AS 2.1 distribution � vncserver. We have discovered that using VNC in a two-way Dell 2650 (dual Xeon) locks up the system in a very short period of time. The system has run for weeks now without the VNC in use, and that�s the only change we�ve made, so we are certain the VNC is the issue. It does NOT happen to single processor systems � we have several Dell 1650�s in which we have run this software in the past, and VNC ran with impunity in them. But, now that we have re-architected the project, and we are running the Database Server in the two-way and the Apps server in a single processor system, we have encountered this problem with VNC. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.see above 2. 3. Additional info: related to BZ#88248?
Please expand on 'locks up the system': does it respond to pings, for instance? This sounds like a kernel problem.
