I've got running KDE and start skype (linux version, from ports), then try to login. The skype hangs up and and makes some processed do the same. As `top` reports "skype_bin" process is in "exit1" state, while some processes (those hang up) are in "zoneli" state. _Some_ apps being run after the issue also joins the lock (`screen` is the one), neither of 'em responds to -KILL, though rebooting system doesn't report any unkillable processes. The issue was tested with 2 machines, one running BETA2 + a couple of days RELENG_6 snapshot, other running 2 days old RELENG_6. How-To-Repeat: Run recent RELENG_6, start skype and log in.

State Changed From-To: open->feedback Is this an issue with the port, or with the base system? e.g. is the system useable after that process hangs?
That's about the _base_ system (but triggered only by skype) - sorry, I didn't set the category, as I stated skype hangs in uninterruptable (KILL won't work) state marked as "zonelimit" in `top` (sys/vm/uma_core.c), some, but not all processes, both already running and newly started, enter the same state and so hang. I've got 2 machines running the same kernel config (attached), but with different hardware modules (so that's not related to specific harware dirver), cvs checkouts 15 Oct and 28 Oct both triggering the issue. -- Regards, Mirya ICQ #313898202
was this something that worked on older versions, e.g. 6.1-RELEASE? mcl
For 6.1 it worked flamelessly. The kernel config was the same -- Regards, Mirya ICQ #313898202
All I can say is that I can reproduce it on my 6.2-PRERELEASE #12: Sun Oct 29 20:37:04 EET 2006 i386 > cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <nVidia nForce4> at io 0xd800, 0x1000 irq 20 bufsz 16384 kld snd_ich (1p/1r/2v channels duplex default) -- IOnut - Un^d^dregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" "Intellectual Property" is nowhere near as valuable as "Intellect" BOFH excuse #242: Software uses US measurements, but the OS is in metric...
2IOnut: That's really not about sound subsystem. I've reproduced it a couple of hours ago with a soundcard-less machine -- Regards, Mirya ICQ #313898202
Good news. GENERIC doesn't trigger the issue, so I diff'ed it to my kernel & tracked down the buggy option, as a result - GENERIC works fine - GENERIC + "maxusers 15" makes skype hang up plz confirm it those who're running custom configs are suffer from unusable skype -- Regards, Mirya ICQ #313898202
State Changed From-To: feedback->closed timeout on Ion-Mihai Tetcu - please provide your config if you are still seeing this issue. It was a PEBKAC for Kyryll.
