There is a strange problem when trying to rebuild the coreutils-4.5.3-22.src.rpm package on Taroon. The rebuild process always hangs. It is always the same test that fails for me. 100% reproduceable. I just do not know who is to blame ... The last thing printed by rpmbuild --rebuild [srpm] is: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/es/taroon/RedHat/BUILD/coreutils-4.5.3/tests/stty' make check-TESTS make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/es/taroon/RedHat/BUILD/coreutils-4.5.3/tests/stty' PASS: row-col-1 When doing a ps auxwww I see the following process: stty 400:5:bf:8a31:3:1c:7f:15:4:0:1:0:11:13:1a:0:12:f:17:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 Attaching with strace -c ... to it results in the following output: --- SIGSTOP (Stopped (signal)) @ 0 (0) --- --- SIGSTOP (Stopped (signal)) @ 0 (0) --- ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_STOP, {B38400 opost isig -icanon -echo ...}) = ?

Should have noted that the SNDCTL_TMR_STOP ... SIGTTOU messages keep repeating forever. This is a Dell PowerEdge 2400 dual-processor server (SMP kernel).
This is actually something different and definitely not a coreutils problem ... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 102042 ***
In bug #102042 (similar problem with zsh) Roland McGrath notes that it is not a kernel but an app problem. Therefore changing back to coreutils again, removing resoved duplicate.
I assume Michail forgot to reopen this.
Oops, sorry, I guess it was already fixed.
