From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux i686) Opera 7.51 [en] Description of problem: See bug 128154 Similarity is that I have several xterms open. I followed advice in above bug, including killing off process holding pty/0. I have not upgraded the kernel as this is the FC3T1 distro. Main difference is that killing off the process that is holding pty/0 allows me to spawn only 1 more xterm - no net gain. Other differences - the time before this condition appears ranges from an hour to a week, not the 24 hours or so mentioned in the above bug. As this system is being tuned and adjusted, it gets rebooted, so it has not been up more than a week - actual time to failure may be longer. Reboot circumvents the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.7-1.478 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Spawn an xterm 2. When conditions are right, CPU load climbs, then drops off. No xterm appears. Actual Results: No xterm appears Expected Results: xterm should appear Additional info:
I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate of 128154, which seems to be fixed with the latest rawhide kernels. If you don't want to upgrade to rawhide, see if it works properly in FC3 test2. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 128154 ***
