Bug 1026521

Description of problem:
All TSM clients (I tried 6.2.2, 6.3.1, 6.4.0.7) crash since Fedora-19.
This happens in the same manner on a workstation that was manually migrated to F19 by a new installation. It happens as well on a notebook (Lenovo T520) that was upgraded with 'fedup' from F17 to F19.

All the versions worked just fine with Fedora-17 and all the years before. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
TSM client 6.2.2, 6.3.1, 6.4.0.7. I tried (stepping back)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a location with a TSM server
2. Install a TSM client on an F19 based machine and configure
   (Software source ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v6r4/Linux/LinuxX86/BA/v641/)
 
3. run the distributed storage manager client 'dsmc'. 

Actual results:
You should get a 'tsm>' prompt (see below) but the program crashes with a seg fault right after the introduction message.

Firewalls are turned 'off' on client (hphws) and server (clumas) for testing:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@hphws ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)

'ping' works smoothly in both directions:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------

So all communication conditions match and the crash cannot happen due to
authentication issues against the TSM server.


Expected results:
I have an older notebook (32 bit; Fedora-14) and here it still works fine
as all the years before ...

Additional info:

If this gets into any RHEL distribution and/or update it disables
all infected RHEL production servers from doing machine backups in
 datacenters.

I keep a TSM server in my lab for testing purposes and can assist.

Anyway, I am stuck due to the behavior in Fedora-19 while everything
(Client version 6.4.0.7 and the configuration) worked fine in the
Fedora-17 system. It fails badly after the migration to Fedora-19 with
harsh seg faults - and I cannot get a clue 'why' ...
