It seems to be the same case here.

Both work here... am I doing something wrong (or right :-)??

I've tried to reduce to a testcase like this before, and it has worked
as well. I don't understand what this limitation is about.

Yes, I am!! Is this some limitation I'm not aware of?

Indeed, this seems to be made in many cases... is this about pthread??

We're going trough two similar problems here. One is KDE, and the other
is Linuxconf. Linuxconf is core dumping on a module when it is linked
with pthread and dlopen()'ed with RTLD_GLOBAL. We must reduce one of
them to a testcase.

Btw, both are mainly C++ programs. Is your software written in C++?

We'll probably do this here...

Please, let me know as well! :-)

Thanks!!

This is happening on ia64 as well. The interface seems to have changed
but some architectures were forgotten.
