Description Bert de Bruijn 2000-12-07 14:09:39 UTC
redhat 7.0 on alpha Miata (PWS 500a) + all updates, running "w" generates 3
unaligned traps.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2000-12-07 16:38:29 UTC
What version of ncurses do you have installed?

Comment 2 Bert de Bruijn 2000-12-07 16:44:23 UTC
ncurses 5.2-2 from the redhat updates.
btw, it's 4 unaligned traps:

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2000-12-13 01:35:38 UTC
I rebuilt the procps SRPMS using kgcc instead of gcc and eliminated the seg faults.

Comment 6 Gregory McLean 2001-01-12 13:01:21 UTC
I also see this on my AlphaPC (SX164)

 rpm -q procps
procps-2.0.7-3

 rpm -qa | grep ncurses
ncurses-5.2-2
ncurses-devel-5.2-2
ncurses4-5.0-2


Comment 7 Gregory McLean 2001-01-12 13:12:32 UTC
Compiling with kgcc (egcs-2.91.66) makes the unaligned traps go away, sounds
like a possible gcc issue.


Comment 8 Preston Brown 2001-01-12 16:10:57 UTC
Georges, Jakub:  Can you please take a look at this when you have a moment?

Comment 9 Preston Brown 2001-01-31 23:05:48 UTC
Georges: I need you to work on this one please.

Comment 10 Preston Brown 2001-03-05 18:55:00 UTC
fixed in rawhide, at least procps 2.0.7-5 and ncurses-5.2-7 work here.
