[Condor-users] Startd's crashing with fatal error getting process info for starter and descendants

["Ian Chesal" <ICHESAL@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This problem just started affecting a handful of my startd's this
morning. The machine have been up and running now for about 2 weeks
without any problems. Now they crash every 20 minutes or so with the
startd log showing:

7/5 14:13:28 ProcAPI: getProcInfo() failed to get performance info.
7/5 14:13:30 ProcAPI: getProcInfo() failed to get performance info.

This is 6.7.12 on Windows XP Pro SP2 -- I know: we need to get to 6.7.20
and we will any day now. But in the meantime: any idea what might be
causing this? There have been no changes to our configurations. Only new
machines added to the pool.
