Curious,

	I was suspecting of a hw failure, but one of my
machines also hangs some times. It's always when I keep the
side of a window dragged to resize it. It just gets frozen and
does not attend interrupts any more.

Curious, I don't see this behaviour.
Could you elaborate your running conditions a little bit more?

 I've just download the new distribution (5/17/01) and it shows the
most peculiar behaviour: once plan9 is installed, and glenda boot the
terminal, trying to resize the term window (e.g., dragging the lower
right corner to the bottom right of the screen and pausing there for a
few seconds to appreciate the size of the window before releasing
button 2) results in a completely frozen machine -- C-tC-t does not
work, only CTRL-ALT-DEL puts the end to its misery.

If rio is not started, plan 9 seems to be quite happy. Same thing
happens almost reporducibly on two machines: Thinkpad 570 and a P-4
machine with ATI video card. (In both cases vga is recognized and
everything else works just fine. If the window resize gesture is done
differently, rio sometimes passes this step and works ok after that.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix the problem?

P.S. This outrage did not happen on the older distributions, if that's
     any help in locating the bug.
