[comp.sys.att] 3b1 freezeup

The two 3b1 freezeups I have had so far: One was opening files,
from useragent,
and was immediately preceded by 3 simultaneous "spurious interrupts"
(however I noticed several other cases of 3 sp.ints. within the
resolution of the timer, and no crashes).

Second time was when I was in the useragent
and the phone rang (we have one line, configured VOICE at this time).
The little TAKE NOTES ON CALL? window opened up -- usually I let it
go away by itself, this time I hit CANCEL.  The WORKING ikon lit up,
things froze, the phone line didn't get freed, and I had to reset.
Nothing in unix.log -- no spurious interrupt for last 2 days.

So yeah, I think it has something to do with phone-window interaction,
at least sometimes, and maybe something to do with the spurious interrupts,
at least sometimes.  So far my experiences don't point at uucico tho.
