Ah, I found something nasty. If I start large batches of processes like this : $ for i in $(seq 1 1000); do ./scheddos2 4000 4000 & done the ramp up slows down after 700-800 processes, but something very strange happens. If I'm under X, I can switch the focus to all xterms (the WM is still alive) but all xterms are frozen. On the console, after one moment I simply cannot switch to another VT anymore while I can still start commands locally. But "chvt 2" simply blocks. SysRq-K killed everything and restored full control. Dmesg shows lots of : SAK: killed process xxxx (scheddos2): process_session(p)==tty->session. I wonder if part of the problem would be too many processes bound to the same tty :-/ I'll investigate a bit.
