I think I have a comment somewhere on that HN thread... It looks like the futex bug probably affects all architectures; just some more than others, as the actual kernel patch references ARM. Anyhow, I wish it had been that, but the 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 kernel didn¹t fix the issue. (6.6 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 kernel is the 6.6.z one): https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-server-6.6-errata.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0864.html Thanks, Mathew Eis Northern Arizona University Information Technology Services _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
