I was afraid of that.
xprobe_comp is a sytem/processor probe and it is really
resource consuming during its normal run.

I tried to strace but it produces an enormous amount of data

$ ls -sh1  xprobe_comp.strace*
330M xprobe_comp.strace_fail
761M xprobe_comp.strace_good

and there is no guarantee that the root cause is traced.
