Hello, did anyone ever have the following problem? I start snowstorm directly under gdb, run it. Then after a while (mostly after SL login) my machine GUI locks up.
I cannot use any X programs anymore, if I run mplayer it will stop playing music. Neither can I kill the X server or switch session. But I can ssh into the machine. There I see the snowstorm binary taking all CPU time. Once I kill snowstorm and gdb via this ssh login everything will be good again. I get a hunch that this has to do with the threads snowstorm creates. As the last thing I usually see in the gdb output is a line 'Thread .... created'. Of course this could be a coincidence. This is a very annoying issue, as it makes debugging Snowstorm (actually it seems to affect all V2 based viewers) nearly impossible. The GDB version I use is 'GNU gdb (Gentoo 7.2 p1) 7.2'. Kernel is 2.6.36-gentoo-r3. Snowstorm is synced to the latest changes. For snowstorm and kernel I already tried different versions. It did not help at all. I even tried Phoenix-Firestorm, same result. Has anyone ever seen something like this, or got a slight idea what I might try? Can the threads in snowstorm be temporarily disabled to make sure they are either causing or not causing this?
