: : So I started thinking that maybe the problem was actually in :syslog (or amd's interface to it). So I disabled the following two options :in my amd.conf file: : :log_file = syslog:local7 :log_options = all : : And lo and behold, it worked like a charm. I was able to run my :conf-building script for my web server 20 times in a row with no ill :effects. Previously the best I could do was 3 times before it hung. : : After confirming that it worked with no logging, I tried enabling :logging to a regular file, and that also worked like a charm. After :turning syslog style logging back on, it locked up cold, with a very :similar traceback. : : If anyone wants to work on this, let me know. : :Doug
Are you syslogging to the console by any chance? Try messing around with /etc/syslog.conf and see if just plain file logging prevents the lockup -- you could even try turning off all logging (but leaving syslog running, i.e. turning it into a sink-null) to see if that has an effect. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
