There certainly are stack-protector issues with other programs on arm. Just saw a new one. All we've been doing is compiling since there are no arm snap packages. :) Maybe we'll see more runtime issues if anyone ever gets anything built they will use regularly. If someone is working

Just an update (and apologies for previous top posting and message history) but we've only ever seen this error and crash while running xmlto. I would think (maybe wrongly) that a stack-protector issue would show up in other programs, too.

Worked ok on amd64 and i386 Trying to get a useful backtrace for the core file. xmlto blows up on it's own without dumping the core. It is bash that core dumps during the dbus build. All I got out of the backtrace was one address 0x0005a5f8 in ?? () Rebuilding bash with debug symbols to try

Now I can't find where it's dropping the core file. The one generated before recompiling bash has this backtrace (when loaded with the new bash) #0 0x0005a5f8 in list_length () #1 0x000803cc in strvec_from_word_list () #2 0x000230d4 in execute_disk_command () #3 0x00023a68 in
