Hi,
I have the xmms main process stuck in sawait(), and I have no idea why.
ps shows:
rpaulo 142 0.0 0.0 7732 48 ? IWxa 7:24PM 75:25.40 xmms -t
^
I'm not using systrace, so why does
this flag appear here ?
top reports:
142 rpaulo 28 0 7732K 48K sawait 75:25 0.00% 0.00% <xmms>
^^^^^^
Probably a deadlock?
I tried attaching gdb/ktruss/ktrace to it but without any luck. Also,
after gdb ptrace() attachment, a kernel thread was created:
root 19226 0.0 10.1 0 39588 ? DK 4:23PM 0:00.00 [ktr 0xc0ef8500]
Any suggestions on how to debug this ? This is my desktop, but I don't
need to shut it down right now, so take your time (unless, of course,
power fails).
This is NetBSD 3.0_BETA from around May 12.
Thanks.
