Hi fink dev,
Some of you know that I've had intermittent problems on my dualG5 for
quite some time now. It has crossed software updates from 10.3 and
10.4, so I'm thinking it is a hardware problem. It has been suggested
that it might be corrupt memory chips.
I've filed a bug with Apple and am now requesting help from anyone
interested in debugging this. If you are interested, and I can verify
your identity, I can create a test account on the machine for you to
help respond to Apple's current inquiry (which follows).
Thank you for helping!
Robert
ps. I can tell you now that it does not consistently fail in the exact
same spot, but it does inconsistently fail in the exact same spot...
usually with malloc errors but sometimes with completely random errors.
= Current note from Apple =
Bug ID# 5033238
Engineering has requested the following information in order to
further investigate this issue:
Does your build fail in the exact same spot every time you build that
project? If so, please use the preprocessed source code (-save-temps
or -E) and see if you can get it to fail with that. If it does fail,
then please provide the command line and that file.
If it randomly differs, you could grab a preprocessed source code for
something that fails and then build it 100 times and see if it shows
any non-determinism,
