Hello,
this or a similar problem is reproducible for me. I just need to run
xscreensaver-demo and run the preview 1-3 times. At some point, after
exiting the preview, the GUI freezes (not refreshing any more) and ps
shows me a zombie process of the recently started screensaver.
The suspicious things I see in strace log:
waitpid(-1, 0xbfffeee8, WNOHANG|WUNTRACED) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
write(3, "\22\0\10\0\"[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 692) = 692
read(3, "\34\370\337\10\"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 32) = 32
read(3, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@\2\0\r\f\10\210\301t\t\301"..., 32) = 32
read(3, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 32) = 32
read(3, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@\274"..., 32) = 32
waitpid(-1, 0xbfffeee8, WNOHANG|WUNTRACED) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0xb7fe42e8) = 10686
But... the module has really not been executed as a program, no exec or
forc calls anywhere. Looks like a program bug for me.
Regards,
Eduard.
