This page provides some live video streaming. Since it made an awful noise I tried to kill firefox with ^Q first. This did not work. Then I ran xkill to destroy it. The GUI disappeared, but the sound was still playing. I tried "ps -ef" to get the PID. ps got stuck for some minutes, then it continued. The first line it printed after the lock was about firefox-bin. Soon after that firefox terminated gracefully. Then I noticed the stack trace in kern.log. Attached you can find my .config. TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE was enabled. Hope this helps Harri
