Hi,
We're experiencing an issue with where VTune hangs if run as a specific user. Please note - this user is capable of running VTune i.e. by attaching it to a running process, but NOT if run as following:
/usr/local/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe_2013/bin64/amplxe-cl -collect snb-general-exploration -- ls &
This results in a hang:
[1] 12246

Killing the child process (12248 above) resolves the hang and VTune runs as one would expect.
Thanks!
