Occasionally, my zwgc process will freeze. The current zgram window
will appear, no text will appear, and no more zgrams will appear.
A 512 byte core file appears when zwgc freezes. Two of these are in
/mit/rjbarbal/core1 and /mit/rjbarbal/core2. Not sure if they are
of any help at all.
Here is the process information after this happens:
% ps auxww
USER PID CP SZ RSS TT S START TIME COMMAND
rjbarbal 15441 80 512 281 ? R 15:39:10 4:53 zwgc
It is necessary to kill -9 the process to get rid of the process
and stop hosing the machine. This occurs most commonly on Suns.
(Not sure about other machines.)
This problem is not related to tickets expiring, reloading zephyr
subscriptions, starting any programs, or any other noticeable
pattern.
