That's why I mentioned to check the RAMs by trail and error, disassemble
and mount back again, one after the other.

I've got 4GB RAM on a 2.1 dual-core machine, I need to run the test 24
hours or longer, just running it some hours I'll might get just a few
passes.

Did you upgrade packages for plugins? Perhaps a plugin is broken?

I would launch ardour2 and jackd (not qjackctl) in separated terminal
emulations.

And again a '...fault' is better than just an app that quits without a
'...fault', because you can get a core dump.

I don't remember what exactley to do, fortunetly I didn't need it for a
loooooooong time, AFAIR you need to run

sudo ulimit -c [some value]

and then

gdm ardour2 [something_else]

but I might be completely wrong ;), please google yourself, I'm short in
time, sorry.

Hth,

Ralf
