I see this alot. Actually it happens even when netscape isn't running if
I
remember correctly. RPM shows this:
[sheldonl@khardan sheldonl]$ rpm -q --whatprovides ld-linux.so.2
glibc-2.1.1-9mdk
glibc-2.1.1-16mdk
so it leads me to believe that this is a glibc bug. ld is the loader but
I think it may be required to run constantly when a program uses shared
libraries
that it needs to access continuously or things like user level threads.
There is a newer version of glibc out but I haven't tried it b/c I don't
want to break my system. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Sheldon.
