Package: procps Version: 1:3.2.8-9 Severity: normal For some processes on my Linode VPS (in other words, a Xen guest), top displays nonsense runtimes such as 5124095 hours. Attached is a gzipped file produced by this command:
strace -e read,write -s 4096 top 2>top.strace >From that file, you are supposed to read the contents of the relevant proc files that ultimately lead to the incorrect readings. Search for this line: read(0, "T", 1) = 1 After it, you'll find that three pythons and rsyslogd were reported to consume 5124095 hours. The kernel is provided by linode, there is no supported way to change that. If you find that in fact proc readings contain bogus values and cannot reproduce this with a Debian kernel under your own copy of Xen - please mark this bug as invalid. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.12-x86_64-linode12 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages procps depends on: ii initscripts 2.88dsf-9 scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libncursesw5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages procps recommends: ii psmisc 22.11-1 utilities that use the proc file s procps suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
