however make sure that it's not a programming error like mishandling a pointer and such.
here's some nice read: http://www.faqs.org/qa/qa-673.html

i searched a memory test, but i didn't find one for arm linux. does anyone know one?. i dont use a swap. cpu error, i hope not
i tried it on 2 boards and there were sometimes the self error. i think the cpu is ok. but the design of the board is maybe buggy, but i dont hope this too
i'll read the faq, thx for the link.

Think about if you compiled and installed newer versions of any software.
This means for compilation the use of newer headers and that has to be voided in any case.
So compiling some new versions of software doesn`t matter at all, but installing them, overwrites old headers the system depends on.
Installing new versions works only with binary installations (RPMs) or copy the compiled programs by hand to the places you configured them for. But never compile and install newer versions and then compile on it some software for the same system.
This is more dangerous the most software depends on such a changed header.
This it is in most cases if a system behaves like yours.

i didn't change the system software. i only changed some configurations (sshd, boa...), but i think they don't change something on the system.

yes
i only changed some perl scripts, but they haven't a dependence to the other software.
i didn't install any software or scripts with rpm/deb packages.
but i will remember to you, so i never will install newer software with other old packages
maybe offtopic:
i have an othe rproblem too, but i dont know, has the problem the same source? i dont think, but maybe
?
a perl-script made a stack-overflow, there are no recursive functions or something like this. but its a big script so maybe its only a error from the script.
i saw the error, when i used the command dmesg. after this, the process were a dead (zombie) process.
thx 4 help.
