Re: today's beta2 updates
I have seen mozilla-1.4.1 freezing problems mentioned by the
original
posters and also mozilla mail. If you file bugzilla reports please CC
me.
My mozilla also uses up almost 100% of the CPU when it "freezes". However,
strace -f mozilla shows it hanging on a futex system call:
[pid 3400] clock_gettime(0, 0x4a6a95c) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
[pid 3400] gettimeofday({1065123504, 591658}, NULL) = 0
[pid 3400] futex(0x9b4b20c, FUTEX_WAIT, 54, {32, 968747000}) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection
timed out)
[pid 3400] gettimeofday({1065123537, 579818}, NULL) = 0
[pid 3400] futex(0x9b4b198, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
[pid 3400] gettimeofday({1065123537, 580181}, NULL) = 0
[pid 3400] gettimeofday({1065123537, 580318}, NULL) = 0
[pid 3400] clock_gettime(0, 0x4a6a95c) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
[pid 3400] gettimeofday({1065123537, 580580}, NULL) = 0
[pid 3400] futex(0x9b4b20c, FUTEX_WAIT, 55, {835, 666738000}
(hangs)
So the CPU is occupied in user space, or system calls aren't being
displayed. I noticed that glibc updates were included in the latest batch,
that could be it. At the moment I can't file a bugzilla report since I don't
have a browser that works well enough to do it. I should mention that
prior to beta1 I had similar problems with Mozilla hanging, though only
sporadically, not like this. Beta1 mostly cured it, and it was essentially
gone before today. So there may have been a regression.
