Description of problem: Of course you shouldn't do this, but if you try to add an observer to frysk, it hangs. I get this on the terminal: click : frysk.gui.monitor.ProcData@4e0f110 Exception in thread "Thread-2" ptrace.attach: Operation not permitted (process 6707) at java.lang.Exception.Exception() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) at java.lang.RuntimeException.RuntimeException() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) at java.lang.Thread.run() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): frysk-0.0.1.2005.12.14.15.12-0.EL4.3 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install frsyk 2. as a user, sudo frysk 3. add any observer for the frysk process Actual results: frysk hangs Expected results: the observer is not added, but the app continues to run (maybe displays a warning?)
