*sigh*
I knew it wouldn't be THAT easy...

Well, hashing proceeded and anything seemed to be ok (didn't try amulecmd/amuleweb, wanted to check normal stability first).
Suddenly i noticed on my other PC, that my mailserver (on the OS/2-machine) wasn't responding anymore.
I couldn't see any special, but decided to restart the mailer - whoops, a crash while exiting?
Tried to stop amuled - no reaction. A simple DIR-command froze my command-window, the task-switcher reported non-reactive other programs; everything became more and more sluggish. Finally even the clock stopped. :rolleyes:
So I gave up and pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del - I can't believe it, the message "shutting down..." came as expected but nothing more! 8o
The first time for YEARS I had to do a hard reset. X(
Since I have to work again tomorrow, I'm going to stop testing for now; I won't risk the server crashing while I'm not around... ;(
