Description Mark Smith 2006-10-18 21:09:57 UTC
Description of problem:
ssh -X <ppc64host> 
# xclock  (or firefox or any gui)
with FC5 stock kernel: 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5  all is OK.
# yum update 
 and reboot with new 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 kernel and 
 repeat, but apps crash.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC5  yum update to latest

How reproducible:easy
  
Actual results:
gui apps crash

Expected results:
success

Additional info:
I really did search for a duplicate but could not find any hits for kernel 
version & libc.so.6    :-)

*** buffer overflow detected ***: xclock terminated

I believe other symptoms are vnc sessions coming up blank (with color, not 
black, but no desktop)

arrgg, please reject this copy as duplicate.  Bugzilla told me (erroneously) 
that product = Fedora%20Core was invalid and I needed to retry.

sorry.

211383 is the original.
sorry, but my id does not allow me to cancel, close, or dup this off myself.
