Description Jared Harper 2003-11-11 17:54:45 UTC
Description of problem:
ld-2.3.2.so crashes with a divide by zero FPE during startup.  My 
call stack is

allocate_static_tls()
_dl_relocate_object_internal()
dl_main()
_dl_sysdep_start()
_dl_start()


If I set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 then the binary will run without the 
FPE.  This same binary will run on RH AS 2.1 (if I copy some 
libraries versions that are missing), RH 8, SuSE 8, 8.2.  I have not 
been able to try AS 3.0 yet.

NOTE: I have another application, built exactly the same, and that 
application will run without the FPE.  I can send a core file if that 
helps.  Since I never enter my application, I have not been able to 
get very far in debugging this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.3.2
ld-2.3.2

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.gwmta -show
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Floating point exception

Expected results:
Application should start and display a splash screen, then exit

Not sure how this was gen'ed. I just received an email, but this is
the same as 109768
