Re: [gentoo-amd64] how to track down strange bug

["Peter Davoust" <worldgnat@gmail.com>]

As in nothing at all in the log file, or nothing unusual in the log
file? Also, how much Ram do you have? Could you try doing ps aux and
then copying the 50MB and watching what proceses come up when it
crashes? Maybe it's an X issue, because it seems like the gui freezes
but the rest doesn't. Does the file eventually copy all the way? Just
sort of thinking out loud there.
