Description toddle 2005-08-27 16:49:00 UTC

Im running Gentoo on a SMP AMD64, I just installed it from the 2005.1 cd

when I emerge sometimes (and on large builds such as X always), the printout 
from emerge pauses and 99.9% CPU is taken via sh.

This can happen at any stage, I have seen it happening while running (ln, rm or 
gcc)

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge <package>
2. wait

Actual Results:  
Screen pauses / freezes

Expected Results:  
Packages should emerge

will paste emerge info at a later date (Currently at work)

emerge -dp package, name the portage version used, etc.

This bug doesn't state where this is occuring, ebuild.sh phase execution, from
the python env, etc.

bleh, drop the -p; need debug info (via -d) if it's occuring during ebuild.sh
execution, if it's occuring outside of it, profiling will be fun.
