On a pure PPC64/FC5 installation (with selinux disabled), I build the frysk from the latest CVS source. It builds ok and FryskGui starts up also ok. When I try to add an observer to a random process: 1. startup FryskGui 2. choose a random process in the processes view 3. right click on the process 4. FryskGui aborts and displays: Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x2080) in reply type 0x0! runs with option "--sync" will get the same hang, but display a two lines of different error message: Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x254f) Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x2551) Attach the process to gdb, will see that a huge number of new threads created: (gdb) info threads 9 Thread 4398113800112 (LWP 3118) 0x000000805ce3eafc in .__pthread_cond_wait () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 8 Thread 4398185234352 (LWP 3119) 0x000000805c7a9048 in .__libc_poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6 7 Thread 4398185689008 (LWP 3124) 0x000000805dc5920c in .timer_helper_thread () from /lib64/librt.so.1 6 Thread 4398212181936 (LWP 3126) 0x000000805c7a9048 in .__libc_poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6 5 Thread 4398222667696 (LWP 3127) 0x000000805c7a9048 in .__libc_poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6 4 Thread 4398233153456 (LWP 3128) 0x000000805c7a9048 in .__libc_poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6 3 Thread 4398254124976 (LWP 3379) 0x000000805c7a9048 in .__libc_poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6 2 Thread 4398201696176 (LWP 3380) 0x000000805c7a9048 in .__libc_poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6 1 Thread 4398046677088 (LWP 3117) 0x000000805c7a9048 in .__libc_poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6 (gdb) c Continuing.

Wu, BTW, several bugs should interest you here: - use gtk timer mechanism http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2352 the timeline widget creates too many threads - frysk hangs for a bit http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2299 I think the fix to gcj will get pushed in a few days - diego's got a mega 64-bit Java-GNOME binding patch pending - sigsegv in Java-GNOME http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2333
No such error with the latest CVS. I believe the following patch fix that: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/frysk-cvs/2006-q1/msg00355.html Replaced librt timer_*() timers with glib g_timeout_add().)
Mark this as fixed.
