I believe that the 'ps' processes are hung trying to read something out of swap space. It feels like a deadlock condition to me. Philippe, could you tell us about your hardware configuration and what sort of software packages you run on that box? For the 2.1 historically conscious I had these problems for awhile in the sups after the 2.0-SNAP-0211 cut. After a few weeks of sup'ing the problem went away. It returned a few weeks prior to the 2.1R cut and has been there ever since. Regards, Mark Hittinger Netcom/Dallas bugs@freebsd.netcom.com
