SOLVED (was: unkillable process)
hi as reboot, and rerun casused the same condition again, i decided to upgrade the kernel (to kernel 2.6.8-1.521smp) and the problem has gone. now the program works flawlessly. probably a kernel bug. erez.

What is its PPID? Can you give us the long ps record of the process? the process crash while trying to do fwrite to a file on the local disk. What does crash mean? Guess: it may be sleeping on a HW device (disk?), and no signals (including SIGKILL) will be serviced until the HW interrupt is. Bug in driver? If the PPID is 1 then the process may be stuck in the driver's close function. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
