On my system, with sources from 3/14 and 3/15, the hang occurs while building a library: cc -O -m486 -pipe -DFDDI -I. -I/u1/usr/src/lib/libpcap -c scanner.c -o scanner.o building standard pcap library The process that is hung is nm. The make can be interrupted but nm stays hung. A ps on the hung process causes ps to hang. Top shows this: 27370 root -18 0 492K 232K sleep 0:00 0.00% 0.00% ps 27223 root -18 0 188K 60K sleep 0:00 0.00% 0.00% nm When a process is hung in this mystery state, fstat will quite often core dump. After a bit it will be OK. It may always core when accessing a hung process descriptor, I don't know. jc elm 27332 1 / 414 crw--w---- ttyp1 rw jc elm 27332 2 / 414 crw--w---- ttyp1 rw jc elm 27332 3 /var 297 -rwx------ 65038 r root nm 27223 root - - none - Bus error Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error. 0x8062f7a in bcopy () (gdb) where #0 0x8062f7a in bcopy () #1 0x0 in ??
