acroread9 makes CPU spin (busy loop?)
hello, world\n I'm wondering if it's just here or if other people also observe that acroread9 makes the CPU spin at 100% (one load point), as if in a busy loop. This happens for me on 9-STABLE and 10-CURRENT alike (amd64), with up-to-date ports tree. It has done this as long as I can remember. Maybe there's something wrong with the way I compile my system and custom kernel, and if so, I'd like to get to the bottom of it. The only diagnostics I get are (process:33229): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. and dmesg says linux: pid 33229 (acroread): syscall inotify_init not implemented Anybody know what's causing acroread to spin?

That message is also printed by many modern Gtk applications. and dmesg says linux: pid 33229 (acroread): syscall inotify_init not implemented Same here, also seems to refer to acroread accessing a Linux kernel call which FreeBSD's ABI does not implement. Anybody know what's causing acroread to spin? No idea, but I can conform this on my home system too. It's OS version 8.2-STABLE (from August 2011) i386, and I have acroread9-9.4.2 and acroreadwrapper-0.0.20110529 installed. The program is still responsive (as far as you can say this for bloated programs). In top, the WCPU value increases until it reaches 100.00%, and CPU utilization monitor shows a bar. When the program is closed, everything goes back to normal. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
