Mtv starts mtvp to do the actual rendering. I made quite a few attempts with various combinations of options with no success. That's not the problem. I just noticed, some 10 hours later, that there are 34 zombied mtvp processes laying around. Why didn't init reap these ? Is it because they're linux processes, or am I on the wrong track here ? -- Gary Jennejohn garyj@jennejohn.org gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
