If you are at version 2.4.20-28.7 of the kernel and glibc-2.2.4-33, then I doubt that there is an mmap bug around any longer. If you are not at that level, you may wish to look into getting some updates from ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.1/en/os/ while they are still available. > >The line in entries.c is this one: > > if (fprintf (fp, "/%s/%s/%s", p->user, p->version, p->timestamp) < 0) > >so it miht be interesting for you to issue the commands > > > > up > > up > > p *p > > (gdb) up > #1 0x40156677 in fprintf () from /lib/libc.so.6 > (gdb) up > #2 0x0805d950 in fputentent (fp=0x82f7b40, p=0x80fbda0) at entries.c:424 > 424 if (fprintf (fp, "/%s/%s/%s", p->user, p->version, p->timestamp) < 0) > (gdb) p *p > $1 = {type = 136248160, user = 0x80feec8 "\n\tim1", version = 0x632f6c61 <Address > 0x632f6c61 out of bounds>, Well, a user value having a newline is not auspicious nor is having a corrupt value for version and timestamp. > timestamp = 0x725f7376 <Address 0x725f7376 out of bounds>, > options = 0x736f7065 <Address 0x736f7065 out of bounds>, > tag = 0x726f7469 <Address 0x726f7469 out of bounds>, date = 0x61742f79 <Address > 0x61742f79 out of bounds>, > conflict = 0x74736570 <Address 0x74736570 out of bounds>} > > Andy. Trying to figure out how the values became corrupt is likely to be harder. -- Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFABRBA3x41pRYZE/gRAvPmAKCW9LuZ92eJHg1hhGDtn5RKzOnUIgCgyssJ LlBeWTZDMV4ieq3mMFskHyw= =7/YM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
