Subject: crashing zwgc process
Date: Thu, 29 May 1997 16:03:47 EDT
From: Sasha Malchik <sasha@MIT.EDU>
A similar question was already raised some time ago on this list, but it was
never really resolved... Some users (but only some, about 20%!) see this
several seconds after they log in over tty on my RedHat Linux-athena machine:
zwgc: Connection refused while calling ZPending()
If that happens, zwgc process is hanging for many hours after they log out,
until I kill it as a root... It take unhealthy amount of CPU, load averages
are many times what they usually are, like this top line of "top" shows:
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
689 spogreb 16 0 704 704 536 R 0 98.6 2.2 829:55 zwgc
I couldn't establish why, but my dotfiles log me in just fine with just
"zwgc" in my .login, not even zwgc -ttymode!! This does not work for those
few people, they've tried. I believe someone else on this list had the same
exact problem.
I also remember discussion here about Netscape crashing and Mozilla process
running for a long time afterwards, consuming, again, definitely not the
right amount of CPU--a lot more than it does even when Netscape is busy doing
something while it is actually running!
Thank you for any hints, I'm sure others with the same problem will
appreciate it too.
