mupen64 freezes

[flip]

hi



when i playfor a while (zelda: majoras mask (european)) the game freezes and only thing i can do is kill mupen64 with $ kill -KILL pid
is there any logging function where i can see what happens?

strange thing is that i played quite a long time when i started the game for the first time until it froze
when i tried it again it froze after just a few mins

this occurs with glide64 and rices video plugin, didnt test the others

im running mupen64 on an acer aspire 5633 laptop (intel core2 duo, geforce go 7300)
using the binary version didnt compile myself
os: debian gnu/linux testing

edit:
rebooted and played for quite some time now without any problems
would still be interested in the cause of the problem though
especially why i had to reboot to get it working again
