Description Sam Varshavchik 2000-07-01 22:25:51 UTC 
Came back after being away from the machine for an hour, X was locked up,
and eating CPU time.

strace of the X process:

[ ... ]

sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [CHLD])
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [CHLD])
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [CHLD])
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [CHLD])
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [CHLD])
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [CHLD])
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) ---

... ad infinitum.

Had to kill -9 it.

Was any screensaver running (if so , which one?)
Comment 2 Sam Varshavchik 2000-07-03 18:45:32 UTC 
Yes, it most probably was -- the machine was left alone for an extended period
of time.  I couldn't tell which particular screensaver was running.
