OK.  I will try that.

I will do that too the next time it happens.

I will try that too.

Framebuffer does not work on my machine.  The Radeon framebuffer
driver hangs my box.  Remember, I have the PCI Radeon and I wrote
to the list regarding how XFree86 hangs my box until I removed the
"AGP" stuff from XF86Config-4?

I have not had the problem until recently, and even now it's so
random, I don't know for sure when it started.

How come you think so?  I can help track it down if you tell me why
you think it is a memory leak.

I will try that if all else fails.

After the whole OS freezes, less than a second of sound plays over and
over again.

I dunno.  How do I determine the audio cache size?

I will try that too.  Generally speaking, which is the better lib?
