Public bug reported: If libsent is built without zlib, it uses popen() for reading .gz file (See libsent/src/util/gzfile.c). So, using libsent in multi-thread progam is potentially dangerous because fork() in the sub-thread may cause crash or dead-lock.
I confirmed the crash actually happens to some multi-thread programs. Please add zlib1g-dev to Build-Depends. ** Affects: julius (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Needs linking zlib + Need linking zlib to avoid crash -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958356 Title: Need linking zlib to avoid crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/julius/+bug/958356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
