I couldn't get firefox to start up today. It's been starting slower and slower each day, and today it just hung. I started it with strace and found out where:
So I ran26486 connect(16, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path="/tmp/orbit-jcomeau/linc-499b-0-51ac9 4b550270"}, 47) = 0 26486 writev(16, [{"GIOP\1\2\1\0T\0\0\0", 12}, {"\244\350\377\277\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\ 0\34\0\0\0\0\0\0\0B\376"..., 84}], 2) = 96 26486 poll(...over and over again.26487 <... poll resumed> [{fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0 26487 getppid() = 26486 26487 poll([{fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0 26487 getppid() = 26486
rm -r /tmp/orbit-jcomeau
and now it works again. I
love Unix.
