Description Need Real Name 2004-05-20 18:17:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
Our in-house C code calls mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE) to lock 
all current and future memory pages into RAM. When this routine gets 
executed it hangs the OS. Below (or on next page) is a sample C++ 
programme to demonstrate thi happening. It requires the nVidia 1.0-
4496 driver to be installed on the test machine.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
glibc-2.3.2-95.6:

How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install nVidia driver v1.0-4496
2. Compile the above/enclosed C++ code - compile line is shown in the 
top lines of comments
3. Run the compiled executable
  
Actual results:
OS seems to freeze....


Expected results: Should open a glx


Additional info: We are using machines based on the Intel E7505 
chipset fitted with an nVidia FX3000 AGP card, 2 x 3.06G Xeons and 1G 
RAM.

This has nothing to do with glibc.
