Subject: problems with 2.1.7 and "ps"
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk



I have a Pentium 166 (256MB) machine with a recent version of 2.1.7 that every
so often (once a day at least) seems to have "ps" lock up.

THe machine seems okay but if I type "ps" then I am locked up in that session.
The only fix seems to be to reboot the machine.

THe machine has a quad port Zynx card with two active interfaces and active
routing (routed not gated...)

It has 46 virtual IP's and is running apache.

Does anyone have any thought or places I can look to help pinpoint this?


Thanks,
