But no freezes. That means you have alert.acc or something like that to display kernel messages in an alert box? The freezes some seem to experience may well have to do with that. In the first place, the AES gets killed (very likely with tools which catch Ctrl-Alt-Combos, for example, I experienced the same with KeyWatch), because a non-process (i.e. a TSR) causes a memory violation while the AES is the active process. Now, the memory violation message can't ever appear, as it's still written to U:\pipe\alert, but the reader can't display the message in an alert box because the AES is no longer existent ... Furthermore, whenever either MiNT itself or a system process (like the AES) gets killed due to a memory violation, the system will be halted because it's very likely that something very bad has happened that lead to such a violation. As a result, the machine is freezed and of course can't react to Debug-keys and such any longer. Please try without any system-alert tool, so that memory violations get reported to the screen (or whatever you've set DEBUG_DEVNO to in mint.cnf). When you now see a memory violation, compare the offending PC to the TEXT address of the process being killed.
