Software hang

Software hangs may be caused by applications that consume memory without freeing it. Check the following if hangs occur frequently:

• Check your third-party software. It might contain a driver that is not compatible with UnixWare.

• Disable the desktop and try to re-create the hang while your local system is in text mode. Sometimes the messages are displayed on the console.

• Check for adequate swap space two times the amount of RAM.

See ``Changing swap space size'' for information on swap space and tuning system parameters.
