test program to show the status debuggers get in this case
2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you. Tried test prog on new 1637 kernel - still behaves the same way. The thread that calls exec() just completely disappears with no status reported to debugger and the main thread still gets an "about to exit" status, then doesn't exit, but instead exec()s. I recommend bringing this up upstream at linux-kernel.org as any behavioural change needed here is going to have to be something that is universally acceptable (or we get "this only works on Red Hat kernels", which is never a good thing). |
