Re: lsof 4.81 issue

lsof was stuck when making calls against the pid for xppa. I was able to find the issue with the help Vic Abell (lsof Author) and Dennis Handley. Thanks Dennis for pointing me in the right direction. I never thought about it getting stuck on a certain pid.

P.S. I started xppa up again and it worked. The process must have been having issues.
"The difference between me and you? I will read the man page." and "Respect the hat." and "You could just do a search on ITRC, you don't need to start a thread on a topic that's been answered 100 times already." Oh, and "What. no points???"

It doesn't really get stuck on a PID, it gets stuck on a file/socket. The stack trace gives a clue on how to triage, first isolate it to a PID.
And you were lucky it was a specific application.
