Description of problem: I tried to debug a git problem (with self-built git executable (from the upstream SRPM), and curl from the distro). I installed the relevant debuginfo packages, fired up gdb: gdb /usr/bin/git-http-fetch I gave "break main" and then "run -v -a -w heads/master heads/master http://dmlb2000.homelinux.org/~dmlb2000/git-repos/local/castfs.git/", all in a gnome-terminal. A lot of "syslog" lines scrolled by, I tried to copy&paste them, but the machine froze (CapsLock and mouse pointer still functional, nothing else). Could shut down by the powerswitch, but not cleanly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.19-1.2891.fc7 How reproducible: Happened once, might try again later... Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Crash Expected results: Being able to debug... Additional info: Had ipw3945-1.1.3 module (plus the 3 patches for kernel 2.9.20) loaded when the crash happened.

OK, tried the same again. Again the same kernel messages, but the box didn't freeze this time.
Nope. The box froze when doing a "rpm -q curl" a bit after reporting the above :-(
yowch, we let this one sit quite a while without investigating. Does this still reproduce on 2.6.23 kernels by any chance ?
Nothing similar has happened again. But then again, I have been doing other stuff lately...
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
ok, if it (or similar) happens again, let us know (and we'll try to be a bit more on the ball next time). Thanks.
