Kill -9 both of them, then it will go on. I can reproduce it in the running system by: ( while true; do echo '`Execute(.target.bash_output, "date >&2")' | /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base stdio scr ) # the parens enable ^Z + fg And then letting it run and sending it ^C randomly. The processes hang in futex(2), yet they have only a single thread (says gdb and /proc/PID/status). FWIW, to my knowledge the only part of YaST dealing with threads is these 3 files: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/libyui/src/YUI.h http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/libyui/src/YUI.cc http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/libyui/src/YUILog.cc -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
