Hello, After updating to freebsd-6.2-prerelease (3 days old now) I have weird problems with Skype. When I start skype everything else stop to work normally like my PC is running fork bomb or something else like this. The weird thing is that the CPU becomes 100% idle and even login to the sistem takes few minutes. I run ktrace on skype pids and what I saw was thousands of lines with: 4306 skype_bin RET getdomainname 0 4306 skype_bin CALL getdomainname(0xbfbfd540,0) 4306 skype_bin RET getdomainname 0 4306 skype_bin CALL getdomainname(0xbfbfd540,0) 4306 skype_bin RET getdomainname 0 4306 skype_bin CALL getdomainname(0xbfbfd540,0) 4306 skype_bin RET getdomainname 0 4306 skype_bin CALL getdomainname(0xbfbfd540,0) From this point I cannot start anything that need network (and may be not only network), and the only way to bring back system is to "kill -9" all skype processes which move their state to: 4305 p3 IN 0:00.00 /bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/skype 4306 p3 DE 0:02.43 skype_bin 4332 p3 D 0:00.11 skype_bin 4342 p3 D 0:00.00 skype_bin (after sending kill on skype, kdump shows : 4306 skype_bin RET getdomainname -1 errno -4 Unknown error: -4 ) From here the only way to stop skype is to restart X(org). I'll update to the latest src today again, but I have the bad feeling that this will not change a thing.
