Description Rian Wouters 2005-01-05 11:16:26 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET 
CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
This problem is looks similar to problem 5329, 
but has apparently never been filed for fc1.

When running outside gdb my program runs fine.
However when running in gdb, sem_wait fails with return value !=0
and errno=EINTR

I tried to replace 
if (sem_wait(...) != 0)
{
  "error handling"
}

by 

while (sem_wait(...) != 0) { }

however, now some thread receives I get SIGTRAP signal first,
and immediately after the process gets a SIGSEGM signal.



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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
will be added later, still busy to isolate the problem

Actual Results:   gdb stops

Expected Results:   gdb should be operational

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2006-07-11 17:23:47 UTC
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates
only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the
Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in
the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the
version to match.

Thanks!

NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy
project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July
26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two
weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.



Comment 3 John Thacker 2006-10-28 19:03:12 UTC
Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy.  Please
install a still supported version and retest.  If this still occurs on FC3 or
FC4 and is a security issue, please reopen and assign to that version and Fedora
Legacy.  If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the
correct version.
