I have a problem after using the all-in-one patch. ( Last updated: 2007-02-09 10:30 UTC ). The bbgen ps takes the entire CPU and seemingly never stops. I've watched it take all the free CPU time for a good fifteen minutes now.
bbgen shouldn't take more than a few seconds to run. It's cpu-intensive, but not that much. So something's broken.
If you haven't done it yet, kill it with a "kill -6 <process-ID>". This should generate a core file, and it would be interesting to see what the backtrace is (see the "Reporting bugs" on-line help).
make install as hobbituser and root respectively. Once Hobbit is started again, the bbgen ps takes over the CPU.
Sounds like it is reproducible. That's good (for debugging, at least!)
