Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2000-09-03 18:52:30 UTC
Since you did not tell which exact program you were trying to run
with what arguments, I'll ask a few questions:
can you try on some testbox glibc-2.1.92 from rawhide and see if
it hangs/throws that exception?
If you have the possibility, can you rpm -Uvh glibc-2.1.3-19.src.rpm,
remove the glibc-2.1.3/linuxthreads/pthread.c part from
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/glibc-2.1.3-security.patch,
rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/glibc-2.1.spec and see if that makes
the threading problems go away (that is the only thread related change
in the patches which fixes a bug IBM was complaining about)?

Comment 2 jhut 2000-09-04 00:43:38 UTC
I'll attempt to find a box to test on, but in the meantime the following
programs cause the bug to manifest:

- ant - build something like Jakarta Tomcat
- SVGView from IBM Alphaworks

Comment 3 jhut 2000-09-05 13:29:47 UTC
Tried the glibc from ftp://ultra.linux.cz/private/glibc/6.x/*2.1.3-20*.rpm,
still locks up.

Comment 4 Jakub Jelinek 2000-09-05 15:20:40 UTC
Ok, can you please try ftp://ultra.linux.cz/private/glibc/6.x/*2.1.3-21*.rpm,
hopefully final?

Comment 5 jhut 2000-09-05 15:55:22 UTC
OK, Works for me now on IBM and Sun JDK's.

Comment 6 thomas porter 2000-09-06 03:02:17 UTC
Running RH 6.1 w/ extensive upgrades on am IBM Thinkpad 600X, NON-SMP,  have Sun
JDK1.2.2 and 1.3 installed.  After security upgrade to glibc-2.1.3-19, all
threaded javba applications either hard loop at 98% CPU util or throw exceptions
dealing with thread ownership.  Apps that will abend: Bluej Java tutorial IDE,
Apps that will loop: ArgoUML and TogetherJ whiteboard edition.

This has fawked mozilla too, won't even start under -19. all better in -21.
if anyone's interested, I think mozilla guys will track this at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51482

Comment 8 Jakub Jelinek 2000-09-08 07:42:33 UTC
Should be fixed by RHSA-2000:057-04
