Yes. First, find out about the thread and port usage: ps -F hurd-long -x -a Pipe the whole thing into a file for us. Then, "portinfo PID | wc -l" shows the number of open ports, where PID is the pid of pflocal. Then, find out what all those threads do: gdb pflocal ... set noninvasive on attach PID info threads (again, PID being the pid of pflocal) Is some thread stuck in some function? Are many threads stuck in the same function? Debugging symbols would be useful, of course. I really have to upload a hurd with non-stripped object files... Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
