Description Alexandre Oliva 2006-08-05 16:34:17 UTC
Description of problem:


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


How reproducible:
My serial console is filled with junk on reboot because setroubleshootd prints
messages about errors as attached.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot up a box now running selinux (permissive), but that formerly had it
disabled and then went through an install from scratch, preserving /home et al
  
Actual results:
Lots of noise to the console, as attached

Expected results:
No such noise, that represents programming errors

Fixed setroubleshoot-0.28-1

There was a 64 bit problem in the code, which has been fixed in this release.

Comment 3 Alexandre Oliva 2006-09-11 16:47:38 UTC
I'm not sure whether this is the same problem or a different one, but 0.41-1
still eats lots of CPU and, worse, it also eats all memory.  It managed to
exhaust the more than 4GB of swap I had on my firewall.  I've relabeled
everything but an alternate / for FC5 that I keep mounted and up-to-date, and it
still doesn't like me for some reason.  This happens to 4 different x86_64
boxes.  I haven't really tried it on x86_32.  Any tips on how to figure out
what's going on?

Re: comment #3, this is a different bug, the one in this bug report was 64 bit
specific and has been fixed, I'm closing this bug.

However, what you are seeing Alexandre are two known problems. The memory usage
bug 204274, and cpu consuption is bug 206050.

I'm going to close this as fixed in rawhide because the original bug was a 64
bit specific issue. Alexandre's observation are duplicates of 204274 and 206050.
