init runs away with glibc2.1
Shortly after installing the new glibc 2.1 packages, I noticed that
init had started to run away:
USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 1 12.5 13.0 8944 8300 ? R 17:42 44:26 init [2]
(That RSS is awfully big, too, but doesn't seem to be growing.)
Installing the new version of sysvinit didn't help any. I haven't
submitted a bug report yet because I'm not sure which package is at
fault here.
ii sysvinit 2.76-3.1 System-V like init.
ii libc6 2.1.1-0pre1.2 GNU C Library: shared libraries
ii ldso 1.9.10-1.1 The Linux dynamic linker, library and utilit
I've also tried "telinit q", "init q", "telinit 2" and "init 2".
They did nothing as far as I could tell. I cannot use strace on
init ("attach: ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ...): Operation not permitted").
Would a reboot fix things up, or would it just make matters worse?
(Is it safe to reboot at this point, or should I drop back to glibc 2.0?)
