Hey all.
I finished setting up Gentoo on my new p4, and then I left it on its own for the
day compiling kde and other useful things.
When I came back it had frozen in what looked like some kind of deadloop. There
were severall 'cc1' process all taking up 100% CPU and never finishing. What
was creepy was that I couldn't kill them, even with a 'kill -9'.
When I recompiled them with MAKEOPTS set to -j1 it seemed to work.
Unfortunately the problem could be anywhere.... I'm running with hyperthreading
enabled. Using makeopts="-j2". And using linux-2.6.0test6.
The two packages it's happened to me on so far are libwww and gphoto2. Neither
I would have suspected to cause problems since they're both small.
It's particularly frustrating because the only way to get rid of the process
was to reboot the machine!
Does anyone have any idea what this is? Or any suggestions as to how I can
narrow the cause down?
Tom
