Hi, I checked out the latest CVS (15th May) and I think the problem with thumbing [1] has returned.
Raster explained to me [2] that the *forked* child will go away once the thumbnails have been generated. I had not dared to use EFM after that, but today, when I started the dEvian module and pointed it to a directory with 30 jpegs (a few of them are more than an MB or so), the forked child doesn't seem to end. CPU usage is a constant 100%. I've been waiting for this child process to get over for more than an hour now, but nothing seems to happen. On top of it, if I try to restart E, it crashes (without the white box) and I've to then *kill* the child process and then log back in. The next image in the thumbing queue is then processed (I got to know this because the dEvian module gives a status message on startup about how many images still needs to thumbed) I attached the child process to gdb and here's the bt: $ gdb --pid=2880 ... Reading symbols from /lib/tls/libnss_files.so.2...done.

Right now, I can't work on this desktop with such a high CPU usage and I don't feel like restarting (and crashing) E *7* more times - that's the number of images still left for thumbing :'( Is anyone else facing the same problem?
