I'm not sure whether this is a privoxy problem or a fedora problem; I run only fedora. (Followups set to gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general). Every once in a while, randomly afaict, privoxy dies on me. (At least now, since some recent update, Firefox says that, instead of just giving me a 404, as it used to and other browsers still do. Bravo Firefox! A 404 with an ISP notorious for unreliable connections is a much bigger pain.) I go into Service Configuration and tell privoxy to restart. Service Configuration appears to hang. Eventually I kill it -- and privoxy is running again. (I suppose I should use ps ax with grep instead; I haven't, so far, since this doesn't happen often enough to make my fingers learn that.) I use privoxy out of the box (if we can still say that) -- never even go into the configuration files, and would have to dig to find them. This began happening on my wife's machine, under FC4 iirc, and at first only on it. It's a minor problem, since it's readily remediable, but irritating.
