Well, I've got a patch that might work, but I'm having a lot of trouble testing it.
I can't dpkg-buildpackage the Debian glibc package. It gets into the test routines, then a bunch of the math tests crash with SIGSEGVs and SIGILLs, then I get a bunch of kernel errors: no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2423)) no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2423)) no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2423)) no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2814)) no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2814)) no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2814)) This happens in either tst-vfprintf-width-prec or tst-mallocfork2, depending on whether I allocate 2 GB or 4 GB to the virtual machine. Any ideas what the problem might be? And how are the Debian packages built for downloading? It must be something different than what I'm doing... agape brent
