Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
I have firefox's (3.0) profile stored on a samba share. Ocasionally (about twice a day) when entering data into a webcontrol, firefox freezes. The cause seems to be the samba daemon on the server that deadlocks. A new samba daemon is spawned after a few seconds, but the dead daemon remains in memory and also keeps locking the firefox profile directory. It can only be killed with kill -9. Connecting to the dead daemon with gdb produces the following callstack: #0 0x00007faf9272023e in __lll_lock_wait_private () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007faf926b4b92 in _L_lock_15195 () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x00007faf926b3c11 in free () from /lib/libc.so.6 #3 0x00007faf926cb0ce in tzset_internal () from /lib/libc.so.6 #4 0x00007faf926cb177 in __tz_convert () from /lib/libc.so.6 #5 0x0000000000605a16 in current_timestring () #6 0x00000000006001fc in dbghdr () #7 0x0000000000601544 in ??
