$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. telnet 127.0.0.1 6000 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. You might sent the infos printed by: $ LD_DEBUG=files LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. telnet 127.0.0.1 6000 It happens on 2 different rh9 installations here.
rh9 beta on my laptop doesn't have the problem.
Interestingly adding LD_DEBUG=files causes the problem to "go away"!
output from LD_DEBUG follows:

why do you need LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. anyway? Created attachment 91788 [details]
strace diff
crashing version on left
That LD_LIBRARY_PATH was just a trigger. One of the developers noticed it here with other LD_LIBRARY_PATHS. Trying out other LD_LIBRARY_PATHS shows: no crash for: / /lib anything/a /anything crash for: /usr /usr/lib anything Hmm the crashing version (according to strace) does also interact with /var/run/.nscd_socket for some reason? sdiff of straces above seems like this is more likely a loader bug in glibc, reassigning Repeat after bugzilla reload: This is not a bug. The symbols _init and _fini like all symbols starting with _ (with a few documented exceptions) are reserved. The correct way to do what you want is to use the mechanism clearly documented in the gcc manual, namely using the constructor and destructor function attributes. No bug. Comment made for the wrong bug. Reopen. Curse this disk error. We did fix a problem recently which might be responsible for this crash. If you can install and run Fedora Core, give the current glibc-2.3.2-99 a try. I expect that the change will also be in an glibc errate for RHL9 when there is one, but this doesn't exist yet. I could reproduce the problem on redhat 9 with glibc-2.3.2-27.9 I just installed fedora which had glibc-2.3.2-98 and I couldn't reproduce the problem. |
