Hi,
I thought I'd follow up on this on with what I'm seeing from time
to time as well. What happens is mol starts up fine, everything's
running great. After a few minutes though (particularly if its just
sitting idle) the screen blanks. The only way I can get the screen to
come back is to switch back to a text console then back to mol.
FYI, I strongly suspect that the 6 mol processes you are seeing
are actually six threads using kernel threads. These show up in the
process list as if they were full processes but in reality they're
not.
Cheers,
Bruce.
