Both "svcs" and "ctstat" are non setuid binaries, and while it's easy to prevent users to execute these two programs, there are cases when at least "svcs -p" is useful especially for "root" or developers. I guess there are probably other commands triggering the panic. It's only a matter of time before some user tries one of these commands. > > it seems like this might be a bug in solaris10 when handling contracts > of exiting chilren who have created kernel threads. the rxlistener is > a kernel thread on solaris and the child that starts the kernel_thread > returns and exits. > > try this patch. > > it cleans up the child process and seems to help things (the listener > thread seesm to join/attach to pid 0). > I applied your patch to 1.4.0-rc7 and it solves the problem, I have run both "svcs -p" and "ctstat -v" one after the other about 11000 times. Thank you so much. I submitted a bug report for this problem this afternoon, it's the ticket #22317.
