Hi!

I'm observing firefox (on my dual cpu i386 machine) run into 'parked'
state:

  load averages:  5.56,  5.34,  4.60                  up 0 days,  0:42   19:11:36

   1219 kilbi     31    0  2784K   58M parked/1   1:04 14.21% 14.21% firefox-bin

where it becomes more and more unresponsive (sometimes one tab remains
responsive, but mostly the whole firefox becomes stunned), but still
reacts/exits on 'kill [its pid]'.

Is this a (still) known issue / anybody else seeing this with
-current?

How to investigate this state further? (Any gdb / ktrace etc. hint?)

I recompiled -current kernel and userland several times in the
meantime, but this problem remains.

Could some other/older pkgsrc stuff required by firefox, but compiled
against older libpthread's lead to such problems?

Any h{elp,int} appreciated,

Markus.
