I'm on FreeBSD, and have hence used ktrace. The processes get into a tight loop consisting of this:
49623 lftp CALL gettimeofday(0xbfbfed58,0) 49623 lftp RET gettimeofday 0 49623 lftp CALL gettimeofday(0xbfbfed58,0) 49623 lftp RET gettimeofday 0 49623 lftp CALL gettimeofday(0xbfbfed58,0) 49623 lftp RET gettimeofday 0 49623 lftp CALL gettimeofday(0xbfbfed58,0) Hope this helps, Grant On Fri, 11 Mar 2005, Alexander V.
