Description warlo01 2000-08-07 17:28:16 UTC 
Some of our UnicenterTNG-Framework applications receive SIGSEGV when they 
call pthread_create().  The same programs run fine on Red Hat 6.1, 6.2, 
and other distributions.  A gdb trace follows:

(gdb) p attr
$5 = {__detachstate = 1, __schedpolicy = 0, __schedparam = {
    sched_priority = 0}, __inheritsched = 1, __scope = 0, 
  __guardsize = 1074345644, __stackaddr_set = -1073745004, 
  __stackaddr = 0x4000a120, __stacksize = 1074463628}
(gdb) whatis attr
type = pthread_attr_t
(gdb) 
(gdb) c
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This cannot be fixed without a testcase. Please reopen when you have one.
