So, this bug is completely my fault rather than anything the monotone devs did - I never thought to test the /proc walking code as root. There are a couple of ways to fix this I can think of off the top of my head; probably using select or equivalent to limit read attempts to a small timeout will be the safest and most general. I'll get something to resolve this into the next release of botan, but until then your options seem to be either to continue running mtn as non-root, or to recompile botan and disabling the /proc walker (using ./configure.pl --disable-module=proc_walk). Thank you for the report and sorry about the mess, -Jack _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
