I am going to reassign to the kernel team. -- Additional comment from davej@redhat.com on 2005-07-08 18:29 EST -- Every instance of a <a href=" http://www.google.com/search?q=Mutex+destroy+failure&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official">google search for Mutex destroy failure</a> seems to point to KDE. Why this happens with 'ls' I've no idea. Whatever the case, this seems completely unrelated to kernel. -- Additional comment from bvasundhar@gmail.com on 2005-07-12 06:10 EST -- it is not limited to 'ls' alone, I saw this in xine, I saw this is cd I saw this happening in mount and also once in 'nautilus .' It seems to me that after completion of some operation I am encountering the error immediately if I try to do same in the command line. for example if I run psql, exit and try todo some other operation like gnu plot or bc , it occurs the same from python and consecutive operation and so on -- Additional comment from than@redhat.com on 2005-07-13 11:30 EST -- yes, it's a bug in kdelibs. It's now fixed in kdelibs-3.3.1-2.14.FC3, which will be released next week. Many thanks for your report. -- Additional comment from bvasundhar@gmail.com on 2005-07-14 08:21 EST -- No I used FC3 on 64 bit, Compaq system. Problem Persisted. -- Additional comment from than@redhat.com on 2005-07-14 08:29 EST -- you still have old kdelibs-3.3.1, which of course still has this issue! The new kdelibs-3.3.1-2.14.FC3, which include this fix, will be released next week -- Additional comment from bvasundhar@gmail.com on 2005-07-15 01:10 EST -- This I am encountering in Gnome Env. also -- Additional comment from bvasundhar@gmail.com on 2005-07-15 01:11 EST -- This I am encountering in Gnome Env. also
it's fixed in kdelibs-3.3.1-3.14.
