RE: Applications close by themselves with CPU under load.
but when I first see the main window (in Galeon, when i see the
utility bar, or in pan, when i see the newsgroup list) the program
immediately closes.
My system is a K6 (1st version) 233 mhz with 192 Mb of ram, 20 Gb,
128 of swap partition, 3dfx Banshee and two NICs, all of them functioning,
apparently, without problems.
I'd be looking at your swap partition. Does your harddisk sound like it is
going crazy? When the kernel runs out of RAM+swap, it will start to
randomly kill processes, the exact way it does this is undefined (and often
a matter of some contention amongst kernel developers) but you would notice
things dying sort of randomly in general.
The latest kernels all recommend swap == 2 * RAM, so I'd increase that swap
partition to at least 400mb
