I finally figured out why 'fvwm' (from the FreeBSD packages collection) was eating up as many CPU cycles as it could on my machine... The trigger was this line in my .cshrc: limit descriptors unlimited This makes the descriptors limit go from the default of 64 to the maximum of 808. This causes fvwm to eat cycles for no reason. My guess is this has something to do with that obscure select()/getfdtablesize() bug... don't really remember how it goes. Details: FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE standard stuff Login shell is tcsh Anybody have a better explanation? -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.
