Hello,
After updating to freebsd-6.2-prerelease (3 days old now) I have weird
problems with Skype.
When I start skype everything else stop to work normally like my PC is
running fork bomb or something else like this.
The weird thing is that the CPU becomes 100% idle and even login to the
sistem takes few minutes.
I run ktrace on skype pids and what I saw was thousands of lines with:
4306 skype_bin RET getdomainname 0
4306 skype_bin CALL getdomainname(0xbfbfd540,0)
4306 skype_bin RET getdomainname 0
4306 skype_bin CALL getdomainname(0xbfbfd540,0)
4306 skype_bin RET getdomainname 0
4306 skype_bin CALL getdomainname(0xbfbfd540,0)
4306 skype_bin RET getdomainname 0
4306 skype_bin CALL getdomainname(0xbfbfd540,0)
From this point I cannot start anything that need network (and may be
not only network),
and the only way to bring back system is to "kill -9" all skype
processes which move their state to:
4305 p3 IN 0:00.00 /bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/skype
4306 p3 DE 0:02.43 skype_bin
4332 p3 D 0:00.11 skype_bin
4342 p3 D 0:00.00 skype_bin
(after sending kill on skype, kdump shows : 4306 skype_bin RET
getdomainname -1 errno -4 Unknown error: -4 )
From here the only way to stop skype is to restart X(org).
I'll update to the latest src today again, but I have the bad feeling
that this will not change a thing.
