Description of problem: $ sudo Segmentation fault ]$ su Segmentation fault Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.5.90-2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $sudo or $su 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Log in as root and run the prelink job for the day. /etc/cron.daily/prelink Then retry both. I found that 'su' started working again, but 'sudo' continued to segfault.
Rob Andrew's suggestion didn't work for me - neither su nor wsudo worked. Reverting to glibc-2.5-3 did the trick for me.

Any suid/sgid app is broken actually, as a result of http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2006-10/msg00017.html ld.so calls __libc_fcntl that uses SINGLE_THREAD_P before %fs resp. %gs is set up.

noting the same problem and adding to the CC. Questioning comment #5. Is this patch going to lead to a newer package release?
dovecot is also getting "killed with signal 11" when I attempt a TLS download of E-mail. Reverting back to glibc-2.5-3 allowed dovecot to function.
Should be fixed in glibc-2.5.90-3 in today's rawhide.
