Comment 1 Alexander Larsson 2002-08-20 08:29:05 UTC

Do you still see this in null? We've fixed a couple of issues in the kernel and
procps.

Comment 2 Brian Brock 2002-09-04 22:00:44 UTC

I can't reproduce this with recent kernels from rawhide, and it seems that
user's problem was fixed (no negative response in two weeks).

Closing bug, please reopen if this issue isn't fixed.
