I tried renaming libmap.conf this morning, and there was no change in behavior -- still locked up hard. That wouldn't be a very good solution long term anyway, since mplayer doesn't seem to work without the libmap.conf :). I also attempted to "ktrace firefox", but apparently ktrace doesn't write anything until the proccess dies/ends? when the machine locked and i rebooted, there was no ktrace.out or whatever to read with kdump :( I had so much installed on this system that it was difficult (time consuming!) to rebuild everything, so I did "pkg_delete -a" last night, and then reinstalled a few applications that i really needed. This also was my way of being doubly sure that all my packages were rebuilt. I rebuilt X, enlightenment, aterm, firefox, xmms, and gnucash. afterwards i started firefox and it locked still. I'm considering cleaning my /usr/src tree and rebuilding the world/kernel again after a fresh cvsup. Of course this wouldn't pin down the problem so I hesitate to go that route. Since I'm not really coming up with a good way to pin down the problem though, maybe it's not a bad idea. Maybe it won't help anyway. hehe, kindof frustrating :) Perhaps i should try cleaning out the dot directories in my home in case it's some sort of configuration problem? seems unlikely, but possible.
