I spend most of my time in X11 in xterms, then running screen inside of those.
In general, I have 3 or 4 open at a time. Lately, I seem to have a
ghost xterm running, consuming as much CPU as it can, but it isn't
actually open anywhere. I can't sample it, when I attempt to, I get the
error:
sample cannot examine process 10887 for unknown reasons, even though it appears to exist.
Running dtruss on it gives me:
ioctl(0x5, 0x20007454, 0x0) = -1 Err#-1
Over and over and over until I hit ctrl-c.
I can kill it off, and it goes away, freeing up my CPU. When I go to
start a new xterm, the first hit on cmd-n gives me another CPU eater,
but the second hit gives me a functional xterm.
I'm running:
Xquartz 2.2.1 - (xorg-server 1.3.0-apple20)
Any ideas what is going on and what I might be able to do to gather more
useful information?
