I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here it goes.
There seems to be problems with uthread_kern.c and maybe other parts of libc/threads in FreeBSD-5.1-p10.
Here are some details about the system:
FreeBSD vorlon.swishmail.com 5.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p10 #0: Mon Oct 6 02:16:15 EDT 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/VORLON i386
CPU: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 (1990.05-MHz 686-class CPU) real memory = 3690987520 (3520 MB) avail memory = 3590627328 (3424 MB) FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
I have installed Apache2, mod_php4, openssl from ports.
Apache/2.0.48 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4 mod_ssl/2.0.48 OpenSSL/0.9.7c
Apache starts up fine. But after a while httpd process ends up using 100% CPU, and eventually more httpd processes start doing the same and the web server becomes unresponsive.

I have been trying to track what is causing this and enabled debug in httpd.conf and I started getting these errors in error_log for apache:
Fatal error 'Unable to read from thread kernel pipe' at line 1100 in file /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_kern.c (errno = 0)
[Fri Nov 14 16:28:10 2003] [notice] child pid 59672 exit signal Abort trap (6)
I believe someone posted that Gnucash, and ruby have problems and give the same error as above. Also there was a post about Apache2 and SSL locking up the system, and this may be related.
On another note, I have installed Setiathome, and when ran it only starts with one process instead of two like it should:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/setiathome.sh start Another processes is already using the shared memory. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ps -auxw |grep seti
setiathome 62458 99.0 0.4 16232 15228 p2 RN 5:37PM 5:38.64 /usr/local/sbin/setiathome -email -graphics -nice 15

setiathome 62465 0.0 0.0 144 36 p2 I 5:37PM 0:00.00 sleep 21600
I have not experienced any of these problems on FreeBSD-4.8 or earlier. Though I haven't tried running apache2 on them yet.
Is this a bug or a user problem? _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
