Just took a closer look at our ktrace, and actually our pattern is slightly different than the one in that post. In ours the second option is null, but the third is set: 74195 httpd 0.000017 RET sigprocmask 0 74195 httpd 0.000013 CALL sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK,0,0xbfbf89d4) 74195 httpd 0.000009 RET sigprocmask 0 74195 httpd 0.000013 CALL sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK,0,0xbfbf89d4) 74195 httpd 0.000009 RET sigprocmask 0 74195 httpd 0.000012 CALL sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK,0,0xbfbf89d4) But repeated hundreds of times in a row. -- "We could put the whole Internet into a book."
