I have looked at qlop source a bit, and suppose information below is sufficient for resolving this bug. You simply should filter processes better. # qlop -c * irc_bot started: Fri Sep 8 18:30:24 2006 elapsed: 1 day, 20 hours, 16 minutes, 39 seconds # ps -AF | grep "\[" ........ godin 7895 1 0 3270 8000 0 Sep08 ? 00:01:49 [irc_bot]
You need to be more verbose if you want us to take this bug seriously. Where are the extra entires? You show us 1 pid and qlop -c shows you one process merging.. So where is the bug??
"irc_bot" is daemonized perl script running, not emerge process, and it has no relation to portage.
fixed in cvs, thanks for the report
