As I now have two servers at home (old and new) I have been trying
to provoke the old one into locking up so I can take a snap of its fossil.

sadly the old server has been irriatingly reliable and the only lockup
I have had so far was on the new machine (typical!).

If anyone has any thoughts/hints/guesses on how to provoke the fossil
lockup I would be very interested to hear. I have tried mirroring
sources which used to be a rich source of lockups but it seems to work now.

I am going to try sending this machine fake emails I have a feeling that
that can annoy fossil, and also speed up the rate of taking temporary
snaps which others have reported as being a source of problems.
