[Cryptography Team] RE: Developing in what image/version/build?

[Ron Teitelbaum]

See the bug link in:

http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/10/26/image-freezing/ 

The problem appears to be task switching on the lowest priority, as long as
your process is not running at the same priority as the idle process
everything appears to work fine.  Also I should note that even though the
image froze up with the comet process seaside was still functional.  So the
image and the process switching were still working but somehow the gui
thread got locked up.  Sometimes accessing seaside would bring back the GUI.
But as I said changing the priority of processes that are running at the
same priority as Idle to at least 1 above idle seemed to fix the problem for
me. 

I'm running 7051 but when I get a chance I'll upgrade to the newer image.  

I understand your concern about the open packages.  

I do not have the same list problems that you do.  I open a package pane
browser scroll down select packages and it works great, I don't see any
jumping at all.  I thought maybe you were talking about the Monticello
browser so I opened that and still no problem.  Which browser are you having
trouble with?  I don't see that problem.

I'm using my image all day long 12-14 hours, and I haven't had any image
freeze problems at all.  As I said I did have problems but I figured it out.
I'm running seaside, and the ssl listener, doing all kinds of external
calls.  I'm running Glorp to PostgreSQL, and no freezing.  If you hadn't
said anything I would have said that 3.9 is very stable!  What platform are
you running on and which VM are you using?
