Description of problem: On my x440 (with 8 procs and 16gigs ht on) if just run "javac" (not doing any work) I have javac processes still running if I look on top. These processes are eating as much cpu time as they can and they don't go way unless I explicitly kill -9 them. The more I run javac the more zombies I get. This is not a good thing. I did a little stracing and found the following. if I strace the initial process all the rt_sigsuspend calls look like this rt_sigsuspend([USR1] <unfinished ...> --- SIGRT_0 (Real-time signal 0) --- <... rt_sigsuspend resumed> ) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) and if I strace one of the running zombies I see --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- over and over again. They are stuck is some loop. . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I am runnig 2.4.9-e.12summit. How reproducible: For me very easy Steps to Reproduce: 1. type javac at a console 2. repeate step 1 as much as you want 3. Actual results: zombie javac processes remain drasticaly degrading performance. Expected results: no extra proceses. Additional info: Feel free to contact me for more debug info.
