Hi,

if I run "xawtv" [1] and then do a "grep -r toto /usr", my system 
quickly freeze. If there isn't any xawv running nothing happen. I don't 
try to use xawtv with grab mode (port 54) because I don't want to loose 
data by crashing again my / fs.

I retry it and I arrived to get some log (see the attach file).

But after rebooting, I had a big surprise, the / ext3 fs was corrupted 
and I need to run fsck by hand ....
