[Bug 489153] [NEW] process problem

[Thomas C.]

Public bug reported:

I have a problem with transmission (svn and ubuntu version): 100% cpu
load and I can not kill the process with

sudo kill -9 `prep transmission`

it just get a zombie process and this can also not killed.

I tried to debug this behavior with gdb, but I cannon pause the process
with CTRL+C (whether I try to attach gdb wth --pid or start transmission
from gdb).

In gnome-system-monitor I can only see, that transmission is in
wait_channel: ptrace_stop

I think, that the kernel handle the process stuff, so that the bug is to
search there?

The bug is that I can non kill the process whether debug it.
