That seems odd. If you do : ls -l /proc/2616/fd/3 you should see the file it is trying to read.(maybe loading a shared library, but the read should not be short like that.
This time it was pid 2859 and file descriptor 4, which pointed to pipe[20775] .
From lsof:
gdm-binar 2859 root 4r FIFO 0,8 0t0 20775 pipe gdm-binar 2859 root 5w FIFO 0,8 0t0 20775 pipe Both ends of the pipe appear to be in the same process.
While gdm was hanging, I did a startx -- 4 from virtual terminal 4. It seemed to work, but crapped out while I was composing an e-mail.
From Xorg.4.log:
