https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460634 Summary: Unkillable process which needs 100% Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: anschneider@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: dgollub@novell.com, sassmann@novell.com Found By: ---
From time to time if I close kmail, kmail stays as a process (state: running) needing 100% of the CPU. You can't attach gdb or strace to the process. If you attach gdb with gdb to the process (gdb --args gdb --pid <pid>) then you can see that it hangs in a wait function for the pid.
I run into the problem on my workstation (Core Duo) and at home with a single core AMD. The single core freezes completely. I've talked to Stefan at the party yesterday and he told me that he sometimes runs into the same problem with Thunderbird. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
