That seems to be a result of sloppy programming. That message is also printed by many "modern" Gtk applications. > and dmesg says > > linux: pid 33229 (acroread): syscall inotify_init not implemented Same here, also seems to refer to acroread accessing a Linux kernel call which FreeBSD's ABI does not implement. > Anybody know what's causing acroread to spin? No idea, but I can conform this on my home system too. It's OS version 8.2-STABLE (from August 2011) i386, and I have acroread9-9.4.2 and acroreadwrapper-0.0.20110529 installed. The program is still responsive (as far as you can say this for bloated programs). In "top", the WCPU value increases until it reaches 100.00%, and CPU utilization monitor shows a "bar". When the program is closed, everything goes back to normal. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
