repeated "select ..." on table poller_output

[Z-Man]

I have the same error.
I turned on debug mode and what I get is this (the last two entries are repeating every second):

Splitted off. New problem

The repeating is because the poller launches processes and then loops to check how many processes are active, so it can launch more if needed. Apparently something is causing the processes to hang, thus the poller just keeps looping waiting for them to exit.

What thread was this split from? What was the original error? Maybe we can find out what is causing them to hang.
