I cannot access one of the mailing list archives. So I don't know if this is a FAQ. I'm running nntpcache 2.4.0b4 on RedHat 6.1 with kernel 2.2.12-20. After starting nntcached it works fine, but after a while (1 day or few hours) it looks like this: top: PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 9833 news 13 0 1164 1164 1028 R 0 99.3 0.4 285:21 nntpcached # ps ax |grep nntpcache 9833 ? R 285:38 nntpcache: waiting for connections At this moment no client process exists. When I attach to the running process with gdb, I see select() always returning immediatly with errno=10, which should mean: "ECHILD No child processes". So there seems to be the loop. Accessing to the newsgroups works, although it seems to be somehow slower (of course). Any Idea's? Is that a bug already been fixed by any patch?
