I think it has to do with printing within the * probe. I tried the following on
i686 RHEL4:
probe begin { log("begin") }
probe kernel.function("*") { }
probe end { log("end") }
This had no problem. The system was a bit slow, but still usable and reasonably
responsive. Then I tried this:
probe begin { log("begin") }
probe kernel.function("*") { print(".") }
probe end { log("end") }
This hung the system. The simple print(".") will still create a lot of data --
perhaps something in the buffer flush is being overwhelmed, or causing a recursion?
