It did last time I used that machine, but it's since been decomissioned. Since this is a race condition that obviously depends strongly on timing (it was quite a slow machine), I'm not going to say the bug is gone. There was no more activity on that "su gets stuck for root" thread on LKML, so I doubt it's been deliberately fixed. -- TimC Seen in a sendmail HELO greeting (Leon Brooks): Commodore 64 (anti-spam cartridge loaded) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
