Bizarre occurrences

[unixronin]

Something really bizarre happened last night.

mazianni made a post about Verison DSL, and I tried to comment on it in Firefox 1.0.6.  All went well, until I decided to add an addtional sentence at the start of the comment. I got to the first 'p' of the word 'prompt', asnd the machine utterly and totally locked up solid, instantly.

Very peculiar.

I rebooted the machine, couldn't see any obvious issues, opened Firefox to have a second try at the comment, started retyping my final version, got to the same character in the same first sentence ... you guessed it.  Blooeyville, buddy.

Rebooted the machine again, patiently sat there while all the metadevices resynced, went through the system logs with a fine-toothed comb, poked through the process table ... nothing.  Not a hint of anything wrong.  Opened up Firefox, opened up mazianni's post, typed the same comment again more slowly and possibly with minutely different wording, and it went through fine .... nothing out of the ordinary happened.

"Yo, there be some weird shit goin' down here, bro."
