[MiNT] MiNT 1.16.1, not my machine

[Jim DeClercq <jimd@panix.com>]

For reasons possibly related to memory strip contacts getting old 
and losing contact, I moved my hard drive to a spare TT, and 
continued, but with a little less memory.

Just tried 1.16.1 again, and confirmed that I could format a disk 
using Discus.

Then I checked my e-mail, using toswin, pppd, and telnet to my 
shell host, and did that, sent two messages, and replied to two, 
and then the screen stuck. I know that is not a good description 
of a failure mode, but mouse clicking in normal places 
accomplished nothing, and I could not continue using my telnet 
over ppp connection, which seemed to be still there. The three 
finger salute rebooted the machine, so that part was still 
working.

Since I do e-mail that way, I cannot confirm how many words get 
sent before something quits, but something quit.

On this sample of two, it is not the nature of TT030 computers 
involved. It may be related to the new feature of alerting one to 
the opening of some global socket ( did not write this down) at 
the time ppp link negotiation succeeds.  Since that is new, the 
chances that a new problem has been introduced exists.
