Hello, I'm running a Dell 2650 2x3.2Ghz box with HTT disabled (the sysctl variable hasn't been set, so the user procs aren't taking advantage of the logical CPUs) & am seeing some rather strange issues with stdout processes. When I run a tail -f on my maillog (fairly active) I'm getting this intermittently: tail: stdout: Unknown error: 0 Also, vi doesn't seem to work anymore. It's giving me a ``Resource Not Available'' error most of the time I'm using it. This occurs both on remote SSH sessions and console. The boxes load hasn't gone over 1, but it is fairly active running some Vexira AV Milter software on as a mail gateway. I was seeing this same thing on a 5.2.1-R box but passed it off as a 5.2.1 issue. I'm using the same AV software on the 4.10 box as on the 5.2.1, but the 5.2.1 also seemed to have some issues with keeping sockets open in VexiraAV. Has anyone else seen this recently or have any recommendations? -- Phillip Salzman http://www.sysctl.net/phill/

Unfortunately, it isn't readily reproducible, and thus difficult to report and fix. Not seeing it on our 4.10 boxes at the moment.
