The machine locks up, can't ping it remotely. At first I thought it was the
hardware layer, since in my experience that was the only way to lock up QNX
;-) However, it even started locking up when using client applications on a
remote X server, Xphoton or XPhoton. xterm was fine trying to run blackbox
on QNX as the window manager to a remote X server will lock up QNX if I use
the SMP kernel. Same for a few other ports (rdesktop, vncviewer). Using
Xnest with XPhoton and twm also locks up the machine.
I'll gladly did deeper, add logging, turn on tracing, if someone can tell me
how :)
