Package: linux-image Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Something is causing entries in ps ie. /USR/SBIN/CRON which increase in number over time. This condition does not allow a shutdown or reboot for resetting the system. The system must be powered off to recover. I have seen as many as 680 of these processes. Machine does not lock totally but some things do not work like su and starting a new ssh session. I can not log into the desktop after about 10 minutes after power off/on. I am eliminating programs one by one to determine which one may be the problem, however the larger issue is the inability to reboot and having to power off. The system should be recoverable and immune to a program creating hung/zombie processes. Also ps reports /USR/SBIN/CRON which does not exist in the system. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-1-386 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
