Does the problem always reproduce or just sometimes?

If it's just sometimes then it's much much harder to figure out what's wrong.

You'll need a dedicated person to track down exactly what is the
concurrency issue and why it's failing.

Cheers,
Carlos.

... and I'm incredibly busy with upstream glibc, but I'm trying my
best to ensure
hppa keeps building upstream glibc.

Cheers,
Carlos.

Dave,

What's your opinion on switching to GCC 4.5 for HPPA?

Cheers,
Carlos.

HPPA glibc 2.3.1 is completed, and I just finished writing the last of
the 6 changelogs for the upstream patches. I began working on the debian
package install and found a few issues in my chroot (as you will notice
by my recent post to debian-glibc).

My own personal testing was rather lax, and I've set myself the firm goal
of doing a better job for the next glibc release. As such I'm doing an
install on three chroots unstable/testing/stable and finally a live
system test. Patches get the usual treatment of testing with the glibc
testsuite, and HPPA hasn't gotten any prettier, any worse. 
I'm also taking care not to break x86 and Alpha with these patches 
(if you have a fast PowerPC box you would like to send me for testing 
purposes... there is still space on my rack for it :).

I hope to have testing started and completed between Friday->Saturday.
With upstream patches posted tommorow.

Re: a small C program to test xdm's /dev/mem reading on your architecture

Done. I've submitted the output for HPPA boxes running 32 and 64-bit
kernels. Looks like they pass without any problem. I'll pass on the 
test results for an older 715/50 box (the other boxes were an A500 and
C3K).

Secondly, I will open a big can a whoopass on anyone else I see
complaining about /dev/mem reading without providng a patch >:)

Branden is merely asking you to _test_ something.
