Machine is lowerend amd athlon 1.4Ghz, 1 gig memory, SB Awe as soundcard and Nvidia Geforce3ti2 as gfx card and os is fedora8 (linux). First time this occured to me was today.

Description what happened:

First, launching from station, the view flickers like i was 1 second somewhere else and second after again back in front of station. happened few times. Then i get bunch of "octree" messages ..

Ship stops but trust meter seems to be stuck to full (its 100% red but normal speed meter is down to 0). No any kind of movement on the screen but chat seems to work.. atleast i could saw some messages coming to me from others.

Nothing helped so i logged out and back again and things worked fine after that.

Log file available here: http://pastebin.com/f2a8afd7a

Huh. The log file shows the timestamps going backwards when you start having the problem. Some kind of timing problem.

Without knowing the logging code, i would say that it might not be the problem ? Say if you have multiple locations where you call one logging facility and timestamps are generated in locations that call the logger, not in the logger itself, having log rows that are not in timely order isnt that abnormal - much more so if the application is multithreaded..

All logging is done in one thread and the timestamp is done in the logging function, so the current timestamp should never be earlier than the previous one.
