Fiander" Sender: owner-bugs@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Well, it turns out that my hypothesis that the failure of getrusage() is related uptime is wrong. My machine managed to last much long without breaking, but now, after only 2 hours up, it's broken. It seems that it's related to load. Running X-Windows, a kernel compile, and view a few large images with xv has, once again, caused getrusage() to fail. And fixing calcru() so that it properly uses quad_t arithmetic for the intermediate calculations, to avoid overflow, didn't solve the problem either. - David
