- Subject: last snapshot: could not acquire lock
Hello,
Snapshot dated 20130430 was working OK for me. Snapshot dated 20130501
hangs temporarily (about 40 sec) before
printing the following message:
5 [sig] tcsh 2428 get_proc_lock: Couldn't acquire
sync_proc_subproc for(5,1), last 7, Win32 error 0
194 [sig] tcsh 2428 proc_subproc: couldn't get proc lock. what 5,
val 1
Afterwards, all seems OK. It occurs each time 'tcsh' is launched. Only
tcsh seems to be able to produce the (delay and the) message. 'tcsh -f'
has no problem. The delay (and message) is produced _before_ .cshrc is
executed.
While tcsh is running, the delay+message is also produced sometimes
with commands like the line below (where pipes are used within
backquotes), but i was not able to find something reproducible. An
example is:
set nbCpu = `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep '^processor.:' | wc -l`
Today, i continue with this snapshot even if i have to wait for each
xterm i open. Perhaps i'll observe something else.
% cat /proc/version | tr -d '\100'
