Description Sam Steingold 2006-07-20 04:10:47 UTC 
Description of problem:

libsigsegv 2.3 is known to be buggy, upgrade to 2.4
then rebuild the packages that rely in libsigsegv
notably clisp

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

2.3 ---> 2.4
Comment 1 Sam Steingold 2006-07-20 04:19:49 UTC 
this is a critical issue: this broken libsigsegv prevents CLISP from catting
infinite recursion:
[1]> (defun f () (f))
F
[2]> (f)
Segmentation fault

with libsigsegv 2.4 the infinite recursion is caught.
