Description Need Real Name 2000-07-21 15:56:13 UTC 
The POSIX times() function only measures the system time of the master thread and does not take into account any time for the child threads.
Comment 1 Ulrich Drepper 2003-04-22 00:22:56 UTC 
This is a kernel issue, still present in the 2.5 kernels.
Comment 2 Ulrich Drepper 2003-04-22 00:30:56 UTC 
Created attachment 91222 [details]
Test case for times() not receiving info from other threads

The program prints currently something like

1050971188: clock 430949932, utime 0, stime 0
1050971189: clock 430950032, utime 0, stime 0

But the utime value should increase based on how much CPU time the two threads
get.
Comment 3 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:38:48 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
