I don't know why this happens. It doesn't happen for me. The cause is a piece of code in procps which does not trust the HZ value given by the header files to reflect the frequency used in files under /proc (because of Linux, btw.), but rather calls a couple of functions to generate a HZ value on the fly. If the computed value doesn't fit into various ranges, the above message is printed. On my 8.1 64 bit machine, the computed value is always 1000. This is an expected value and thus I never see the "Unknown HZ value" message. I have not the faintest idea why your system returns a different value. However, since we know for certain that Cygwin always uses the HZ value 1000 in /proc file content, we could skip this function and just use the well-known HZ value from sys/param.h. I'll release a new procps with this patch soon. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
