calcru: runtime went backwards

[Daniel Lang]

Hi,

since my most severe problems appear to be resolved, no more
panics so far (*knock on wood*), I would like to ask about
some other matters which are occurring on this host (see now
resolved and closed PR kern/68779 for machine details).

1. I get tons of messages like this on the console:

calcru: runtime went backwards from 31915600 usec to 31915590 usec for pid 1265 (httpd)

It always seems to be a httpd process. httpd is apache2 linked with
"libthr". It especially happens if I use the 'ps' and the 'top'
command. If this happens, the controlling terminal where the 
command (e.g. ps) was issued, hangs for a while. Everything else
seems to be fine, though.

I recall that there was a thread in -current about this matter, 
but I couldn't find any solution right now... 

2. I also get lots of the following messages:

[..]
Jul 14 18:02:08 atleo6 ftpd[81983]: getsockname (/usr/libexec/ftpd): Socket operation on non-socket
Jul 14 18:02:26 atleo6 ftpd[81992]: getsockname (/usr/libexec/ftpd): Socket operation on non-socket
Jul 14 18:03:56 atleo6 ftpd[82043]: getsockname (/usr/libexec/ftpd): Socket operation on non-socket
Jul 14 18:04:23 atleo6 ftpd[82055]: getsockname (/usr/libexec/ftpd): Socket operation on non-socket
[..]

What could be wrong with ftpd here? I thought about ktracing ftpd, but
there are 200-300 concurrent ftpd processes active and the messages
appear very irregulary. If I could ktrace the parent ftpd and all
its childen, I'm afraid the trace-log would fill up all disk-space
before the problem even appears... Suggestions are appreciated
though.

3. I had a LOR in syslog, but it's rotated away (several 100ks of 
   calcru messages), alas. I have reconfigured newsyslog to keep
   more logs around.
   However, I recall, that it must be LOR no 009 on Bjoern's
   page:

   http://sources.zabbadoz.net/freebsd/lor.html

   I guess there is no solution to this, yet?

Cheers,
 Daniel
