Mine stays frozen. >Anyone else seeing this? Yes, I am. It's a bit tough to reproduce though. It's definitely related to gpm here. It also affects htop, but not top and vim. Attaching strace to the process shows it stuck and a read or write call some gpm socket. Restarting the gpm daemon allows the processes to continue. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
