Hi,

I too have noticed somthing like this recently.

Its very rare, but the system load goes up to 100% (I know
stats has an arbitary scale but 100% for 30secs is lots in
anybodys language), then ^T^Tp releases it.

If I wait long enough then sometimes I get a panic,
somthing like "pool: block not allocated - double free?".

I have had 2 temporary freezes and 2 panics in
the last few months; never lost any data :-)

I will write down accurate details next time.

-Steve

I had a similar experience yesterday when doing

bunzip2 -c backup.tbz | tar xT

onto a fossil file system.  I'd originally archived my files from a kfs 
system and didn't have the same load issues.

Now aside from bunzip2 putting in a significant load, fossil also 
contributed.  And of course stats not only showed load at 100%, course 
context switching like mad.

'broke | rc' seemed to make things a lot happier, it's still laggy(as it should be given its load) but the problem's gone. Here's the current process table, anything interesting going on here?:
