I just tested script attached to my bugreport and bug still exists. I reproduced it on two different machines: PIII with Linux 2.6.18-4-686 and PIV with few xen domains with Linux 2.6.18-4-xen-686. On both machines installed system is Etch+security updates. Package: iproute Version: 20061002-3 -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-xen-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages iproute depends on: ii libatm1 2.4.1-17 shared library for ATM (Asynchrono ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.3 4.3.29-8 Berkeley v4.3 Database Libraries [ Versions of packages iproute recommends: pn iproute-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information I attach strace and ltrace output, maybe this will help diagnose this problem. tc qdisc del dev eth0 root strace -o tc.strace tc -b tc-bad.txt tc qdisc del dev eth0 root ltrace -o tc.ltrace tc -b tc-bad.txt I also recompiled new wersion from testing/unstable under etch and it also crashes on tc-bad.txt. I also get this crash under current ubuntu feisty.
