Hi,
Strange behavior on my Athlon box--when I open an xterm and play a midi file with timidity it plays fine but if I try to ctrl-c out of it (or ctrl-z and then bg/fg) it completely freezes the machine. No mouse, no kbd, just the looping sound it was last playing and the display is frozen. No ssh or ping after I do this, either.
My intel laptop doesn't have the problem--it ctrl-c's out just fine.
Seems to be platform or chipset dependent. Interesting test for other people to try if they get a chance.
Both machines are fresh Fedora core 1 installs kept up2date as of this writing.
