Looks like process 2382 is stuck with the kernel trying to send SIGBUS to that bash process, here: int force_sig_info(int sig, struct siginfo *info, struct task_struct *t) { unsigned long int flags; int ret, blocked, ignored; struct k_sigaction *action; ====> spin_lock_irqsave(&t->sighand->siglock, flags); - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
