Segfault in longjmp() ?

1999-06-08 Thread Dan Moschuk

The machine is a SMP 3.0-RELEASE box.

A heavily threaded program is segfaulting in the longjmp() function.
Any ideas what would cause this?

Regards,

Dan

 You could have trashed your jmp_buf...  (i.e. you're passing bad data
to longjmp().)

 Just a thought...

A bug in the thread exit code. This was fixed at the "13th hour" during
the release of 3.2.

Libc_r or Linuxthreads?

There are some known problems WRT signal handling in libc_r.  I
think they've been mostly fixed (with possible exception of
signals interrupting signal handlers) with the changes at:

  ftp://ftp.pcnet.com/users/eischen/FreeBSD/uthread.tgz

If you're having problems with libc_r and these changes don't
solve your problem, let me know.  Make sure you do a 'make clean'
in src/lib/libc_r before building.
