Okay,
Here at my work we use WP Server Edition to do mail merges on the Linux box.
All of a sudden last (begining of December) the WP spooler quit working and
my CPU gets pegged at 100%.. I strace the code:
times({tms_utime=232, tms_stime=251, tms_cutime=1, tms_cstime=1})
= -1925793722
times({tms_utime=232, tms_stime=251, tms_cutime=1, tms_cstime=1})
= -1925793722
times({tms_utime=232, tms_stime=251, tms_cutime=1, tms_cstime=1})
= -1925793722
...............
And there 's nothing but times() functions being called in an endless loop.
This is a RH 7.1 box with libc-5.3.12-31 rpm installed. I believe WP
couldn 't work with the new glibc so I installed libc from a RH 6.2 distro.
Reinstalling yeilded the same results. This softwrae has work for _years_
which is why it is blowing my mind.
Do you think the times function in libc-5.3.12 wrapped into negative numbers
because of some kind of epoch limitation?
