> <snip>looks like signal handling is busted. iirc, ntp acts by setting up an alarm() and then polling with short timeouts indefinitely until the SIGALRM fires. your strace output indicates this: the correct one had SIGALRM delivered while the incorrect one did not. check /proc/<pid>/status to compare signal masks between the working processes. -mike _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list uClibc@uclibc.org http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
