OK this really looks like a kernel bug to me. kernel 2.0.30.
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
26070 ? D 0:00 in.ntalkd
1:10 vipe /home/staff/andi# strace -p 26070
attach: ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ...): Operation not permitted
I can't kill this and another 32 in.ntalkd's.
load average is 32+ with system running fast. no slowdown noticeable
Can someone like Linus address this please? :)
Please reply to me directyly also as it's hard to browse through the huge
kernel mailing list
thanks,
Andi
