Description Carl Roth 2009-03-31 14:46:24 EDT

Description of problem:

This looks suspiciously like BUG174736.  It affects the current emacs for F10, as well as emacs-23 snapshots I've tried from Emacs CVS.

When I build emacs from srpm, it fails sometimes with a segfault when running bootstrap-emacs.  It fails pretty consistently if I try to build the emacs SRPM using mock.

...
/bin/sh: line 2: 14800 Segmentation fault      EMACSLOADPATH=/builddir/build/BUILD/emacs-22.3/lisp ../src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte -l autoload --eval '(setq generated-autoload-file "/builddir/build/BUILD/emacs-22.3/lisp/loaddefs.el")' -f batch-update-autoloads $wins
...

I'm attaching a backtrace to the bug report; it appears that the solib static constructors are stumbling over the malloc implementation built-in to emacs.

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

emacs-22.3-4.fc10

How reproducible:

Often (not always).  Currently my system is failing consistently in mock.

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 2 Carl Roth 2009-04-06 04:29:53 EDT

I rebooted my system, now mock is working again.  Yay?

I reserve the right to re-open this the next time the bug prevents me from building a future emacs snapshot...
