Description of Problem:gcc versions greater than 2.91.66 break on zealos (zealos.sourceforge.net, cvs module zealos-new) in i386/kern/desc.c:476 How Reproducible:Always. jump location seems to be non-random, but isn't correct either. Steps to Reproduce:compile it with a non-kgcc gcc compiler and it will usially infinate-loop. 1. download zealos 2. compile with rh7.1's gcc 3. try to run it Actual Results:it loops round infinatly printing it's messages (jumping to a psudo-random location in the binary) Expected Results:it should preform a long jump to reload CS and EIP with the new GDT Additional Information:Told to report it by arjan v
zealos.sourceforge.net no longer exists, and I can wade through enough dutch to find where the current code. I do recall that a lot of folk had invalid source concerning label addresses and computed gotos at the time. I strongly suspect this was one of those.
