hello redhatters, i'm getting frequent hangs recently.. but get this.. i attach to the process with gdb, then just quit gdb, and it unhangs! how am i supposed to track this down? this system is nothing but latest stable rpm software. these hangs have happened (repeatedly) so far in evolution(1.4.4), galeon(1.2.7), gthumb(2.0.1), and gnucash(1.8.7), in either kde or gnome, under redhat 9, all up2date. i've tried various kernels, 2.4.20-18, 2.4.20-19, 2.4.20-20, no difference. before 3-6 weeks or so ago it wasn't happening. dunno if i should blame up2dates or what. could be i just wasn't yet putting quite so heavy a load on the machine back then? is this happening to anyone else? my best guess is it's some sort of latent scheduling bug, brought out under load, that is, when i've got enough going to really call significantly upon swap. i only discovered the gdb bit when the evolution folks asked me to produce a backtrace with gdb. they say evolution's backtrace is normal, no deadlock. if this is some latent bug it seems it would be worthwhile to track it down, but i'd need some help.. otherwise i expect i'll just carry on trying to ignore it until i get enough spare cycles to install something different, like maybe fedora? tia, greg -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
