Re: Crash in GNOME System Monitor

[Javier Kohen <jkohen@users.sourceforge.net>]

Sorry for the last empty message, I accidentally hit the Ctrl key as I 
was pressing enter...

Yes!

I found it... from strace:
[pid  1611] stat("/var/chroot/sid-ia32/home", 
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|S_ISGID|0775, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
[pid  1611] --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---

So I guess a little unmounting will help...

Unmounting all binds under the chroot... and GSM is working again!

After a little more investigation proc, sysfs and /tmp (a bind mount) 
don't break GSM, but /home does (another bind mount).

I just followed the Debian AMD64 instructions for the chroot mounts, so 
I don't think I have to reproduce them here. As a temporary workaround 
unmount your chroot's /home bind mount (or check if something similar is 
causing the problem for you).

Could somebody with a working reportbug please send a report?
