As a further update, this system has now crashed three times since the update. It was stable prior to the glibc update and had run several months without needing a reboot. It was doing gcc builds almost continuously. The first two crashes were building gcc and led to file system corruption. I tried looking at the log files but there's a gap. On the console, there's a continuous stream of messages: YZrvWESTHLNXBCVMcbcbcbcbOGFRQPDI PSW: 00001000000001101111111100001111 Not tainted r00-03 000000ff0806ff0f 000000004036c000 0000000040104edc 00000000c0601048 r04-07 00000000403d79d4 00000000403d89d4 000000000002c258 0000000000000000 r08-11 000000000002a3f4 000000000002a3f4 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 r12-15 000000000002a3f4 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 000000000002c258 r16-19 000000000002a3f4 000000000002a3f4 000000000002a3f4 0000000000000000 r20-23 000000000000012a 000000004029c000 0000000040357594 000000000002c268 r24-27 00000000c0601048 0000000000000058 000000000002c258 0000000040503fc0 r28-31 00000000403daf60 000000007c744170 000000007c744180 00000000403575e3 sr00-03 00000000000eb800 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000000000eb800 sr04-07 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 IASQ: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 IAOQ: 0000000000000000 0000000000000004 IIR: 00000000 ISR: 00000000000eb800 IOR: 0000000000000000 CPU: 0 CR30: 000000007c744000 CR31: 00000000404c4000 ORIG_R28: 0000000040155a7c IAOQ[0]: 0x0 IAOQ[1]: 0x4 RP(r2): syscall_exit+0x0/0x14 The latest crash was: mx3210:/var/log# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on *** crash *** Need to figure out how to revert the 2.5 libc update. apt-get wouldn't let me install 2.3.6.ds1-13.
