The behaviour I saw (32-bit only) was a python process getting stuck. I got this from strace: ... futex(0xb5acc000, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) futex(0xb5acc000, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) futex(0xb5acc000, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) futex(0xb5acc000, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) futex(0xb5acc000, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) futex(0xb5acc000, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) futex(0xb5acc000, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) futex(0xb5acc000, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) ...
