Hi, Just to let you know that, as could have been guessed from my initial post (http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2012/01/msg00016.html), PulseAudio is involved. Uninstalling pulseaudio, pulseaudio-esound-compat, pulseaudio-module-x11, pulseaudio-utils and gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio packages "fixes" the issue. Obviously, you get no more sound :-(.
Is there something in PulseAudio source code that hasn't been updated (maybe only on IA-64?) following commit 37a9d912b24f96a0591773e6e6c3642991ae5a70 (futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API)? The bad news: I can't provide more information at this time as all the programs that I've tried to ran through gdb (most notably iceweasel and gnome-terminal as they were my easy to reproduce scenarii) are receiving SIGTRAP signal, and bt full reports No symbol table info available. I however have debug packages installed.
