Hi, i've encountered this error yesterday.
The machine dont run anything big and its
not yet on production.

The machine hangs, and does not accept some
connections on some apps like ssh, etc.

I tried to reboot the machine, and after it works
fine again.

Im not sure where to send it, and not sure
if its redhat problem or the main kernel.

BTW: its redhat 7.3
Kernel 2.4.18-3smp
A default install so far.

Please advise,
louie...
