I've been seeing a lot of hung Terminals and shells lately, so I took a look at 'ps', and the shells (/bin/sh --login) seem to be waiting on all kinds of semaphores. This is due to an error in ps where the previous semaphore name falls through. http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku/haiku/trunk/src/bin/ps.c?rev=11909&view=markup Rev 24008: http://www.kirilla.com/haiku/screen1.png http://www.kirilla.com/haiku/screen2.png http://www.kirilla.com/haiku/screen3.png http://www.kirilla.com/haiku/screen4.png http://www.kirilla.com/haiku/screen5.png Adding some error checking to ps.c ... http://www.kirilla.com/haiku/ps.c.diff (feel free to apply a better patch) ... shows a few "Bad semaphore ID" in the ps output http://www.kirilla.com/haiku/screen7.png http://www.kirilla.com/haiku/screen8.png What are those bad semaphores about? An error in ps or something deeper? /Jonas.
