Since I upgraded to prelink-0.3.1-2 on April 20, httpd has crashed during the cron.daily run several times. Some, but not all, of the times it has logged these messages before crashing: [Thu Apr 22 04:03:38 2004] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart [Thu Apr 22 04:03:40 2004] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process The daily logrotate happens around the same time, but I last upgraded logrotate on February 24, and the problem didn't start happening until I upgraded prelink, so I don't think logrotate is the problem. I last upgraded httpd on April 8, so I *suppose* it's possible that httpd is at fault, especially given the changelog entries for httpd-2.0.49-2, but it's hard to say that for certain, given that like I said, the problems didn't crop up until I upgraded prelink.
Have you tried prelink -u'ing (after making a backup copy of the binary) /usr/*bin/httpd and seeing if the segfault goes away?
I don't think I understand your question. The issue is not that prelink has corrupted the httpd binary and thus caused persistent segfaults. The issue, I believe, is that each time prelink runs and modifies either httpd or one of its dependencies (I don't know which), one segfault happens a result, but that same segfault doesn't happen again unless prelink again modifies httpd or one of its dependencies. In short, the problem is related to the change in state caused by prelinking, not to the changes made by prelinking, so prelink -u won't test or prove anything about it.
'Red Hat Raw Hide' refers to the development tree for Red Hat Linux. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues were not resolved in a more timely manner. However, we do want to make sure that important don't slip through the cracks. If these issues are still present in a current release, such as Fedora Core 5, please move these bugs to that product and version. Note that any remaining Red Hat Raw Hide bugs will be closed as 'CANTFIX' on September 30, 2006. Thanks again for your help.
Not happening for me anymore.
