Also rather than being a memory leak, which as you say would be bad, I think this may be related to the cifs drive mappings to 2 Windows machines that I am using.
One of them gets turned off at night and doesn't get turned on each day until later in the day due to their time zone. The Linux server is in Central time at the main warehouse location where one of the folders is mounted... the other is 2 hrs behind in Pacific time.
Also, these folders have lots of very small files in them.... I am working on a way to clean them up since the many small files are not needed and then each folder could start clean each day. I just sort of feel that its hanging because the machine is turned off at night and the Linux server is unhappy about that. When I just move about the console with LS and that machine is off I get a "Host down" message... so something is designed to keep retrying that mount that might be "hanging" up my system.
I am going to see if I can get them to leave their machine on all the time.... then I am going to clean up those two folders so they are empty at the start of each day and see if this hanging issue goes away.
The "hanging" doesn't effect anything but the process thats working with those folders... so I think I am on the right track. Other DB and web page access does not appear to be effected so I think I can rule out the memory leak.
Thank you... the saga continues
As always Jeremy you are top notch with your information and help.
On OSX (Mac) the -v option works like on a linux desktop... so in using it I can see that it hang where marked below.
**** SSH Output Below ****
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: pledge: network
**** HANGS AWHILE ****
debug1: client_input_global_request: rtype hostkeys-00@openssh.com want_reply 0

Thanks so much for helping with this Jeremy!
