I get instant hangs. Usually there is no CPU usage at all. If I try to attach gdb to a firefox-bin process, it barfs. One time I got a hang at startup with 100% CPU usage. It was possible to to a ktrace on it. But the ktrace.out is 50 MB, so I won't post it here. :-) I can mail it if anybody is interested. One thing that struck me when going over the tracedump was this: 23905 firefox-bin CALL kse_thr_interrupt(0,0x6,0x7fffffffd120) 23905 firefox-bin RET kse_thr_interrupt -1 errno 22 Invalid argument It happens on all the firefox-bin processes. It looks like is being called with a NULL pointer as its first argument. This looks fishy to me. If it is suspect, the trouble might be in the pthread library? BTW, the prototype for kse_thr_interrupt in the kse(2) manpage doesn't match /usr/include/sys/kse.h Roland --=20 R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) --HlL+5n6rz5pIUxbD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFTSeNEnfvsMMhpyURAh87AKCQ8gsfzYq+FI2NKyxwEAdkttBwkACgpkM1 S1qoTuGI6G8yHeiTTodqQJs= =X65O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HlL+5n6rz5pIUxbD--
