Description Jean-Marc Valin 2004-05-28 02:14:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
I'm having problems with random crashes on FC2. For example, apt often
segfaults on start, but not always. Didn't have that problem with FC1,
suspect libc, but not sure.

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


How reproducible:
sometimes. usually, when apt starts segfaulting, starting the command
again will also crash. At some point, this behaviour stops. I've also
noticed the problem with mplayer.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Check your RAM is OK with memtest86 from the installer CD.
Comment 2 Jean-Marc Valin 2004-05-28 15:25:27 UTC 
memtest86 ran for 8 hours (3 complete passes) without detecting errors.
Comment 3 Joe Orton 2004-05-28 15:27:16 UTC 
If you haven't got a specific bug to file against a specific
component, ask fedora-list for help, describe the problems
as accurately as possible.
