I have been experiencing a problem w/ my 1040, wherein once in a while (and
getting more frequently), when the desktop (or a program) goes to open a 
window, GEM freezes, i.e. the busy bee is on the screen (and still moves
via the mouse), but the window creation stops, with a reboot being the only
way out.

The motherboard was replaced last year (the previous one had the same
symptoms - but it was replaced for other reasons), and I reseated all the
OS chips, glue, and mmu, with no improvement. 

Do any of you netlanders have any ideas? Many thanks.
