Hi, I did some debugging and found out that the segfault in Zope on amd64 is due to some non-64-bit-compatible code in the initgroups.c source file (lib/Components/initgroups/initgroups.c in the Zope source package). Here is a patch that fixes this problem:
--- initgroups.c~ 2002-07-25 17:54:02.000000000 -0400 +++ initgroups.c 2005-01-22 01:36:44.422203184 -0500 @@ -25,7 +25,16 @@ char *username; gid_t gid; +#if defined(__x86_64__) || defined(__amd64) || defined(__amd64__) + /* gid_t is a 32-bit integer on amd64 so we should use the i + format specifier as the l specifier indicates a long which + is 64 bits. This fixes a segfault caused by + PyArg_ParseTuple() overwriting the lower 32 bits of + username when setting gid. */ + if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "si:initgroups", &username, &gid)) +#else if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "sl:initgroups", &username, &gid)) +#endif return NULL; if (initgroups(username, gid) == -1) With this patch I no longer get segfaults and I am able to bring up the Zope management interface.
