My immediate guess is that GPS has been paged out (almost completely) and your OS is then trying to page everything in again (hence, paging something else out). THis combined with little RAM, slow CPU and slow disk(s) can make systems unresponsive for some time. How long will vary from system to system and case to case. -Frode -- ^ Frode Tennebø | email: [email protected] | Frode@IRC ^ | with Standard.Disclaimer; use Standard.Disclaimer; |
