Re: bash and csrss using 100% of the CPU
snip If I boot in safe mode, I don't see this problem. Since SpySweeper doesn't start in safe mode, maybe SpySweeper is the culprit. I have no idea how to fix this though. I do not run with SpySweeper, and have experienced this problem. During my original attempt to diagnose, I turned off all security software the problem still occured.

We cannot deduce from your observation that spysweeper is not the cause of the problem, only that there may be other causes too. Which we already basically know - logitech, mcafee, there's quite a few known problems and undoubtedly a few unknown ones too. During my original attempt to diagnose, I turned off all security software the problem still occured. This doesn't tell us much. It doesn't tell us what other software you have on your machine that may have interfered. Nor does it tell us what effect turned off actually has on that software; for instance, does it simply go quiescent and stop doing anything, but stay loaded and keep its windows hook dlls installed? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

After looking at this: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg00019.html I tried using tcsh and ksh, but had the same problem. I have spysweeper running on my machine. Not being able to turn spysweeper off, I'm wondering if anyone out there has W2K and spysweeper running but doesn't see the symptoms that I'm seeing with bash (or tcsh or ksh) and csrss. -- Kevin Van Workum -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Well, there are other things that don't get started in safe mode. So I can't be sure that it's spy sweeper.
