Description of problem:java applet causes mozilla to crash after up2date kernel 2.4.20-9.i686 and glibc-2.3.2-27.9.i686 several programs would not work, wine, Realplayer, StarOffice, Sun Java, etc., that worked before the update. Replacing glibc.*.i686 with glibc.*.i386, All the programs started working again, except java. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):initial release RedHat 9.0 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.update to kernel-2.4.20-9*i686 glibc-2.3.2-27.9*i686 2.download and install SunJava 1.4.1 3.logon a website that uses java-applet Actual results:browser crashes, mozilla and Netscape 7.02 Expected results: Additional info:
I can confirm that with glibc-2.3.2-27.9 (i686) and kernel-2.4.20-18.9 (athlon) RealPlayer-8.0-1 no longer functions (I just upgraded to RedHat 9 with all the lastest updates). It seems to be hanging in a futex call: open("/u/andre/.RealNetworks_RealShared_00", O_RDONLY) = 3 flock(3, LOCK_EX) = 0 stat64("/u/andre/.RealNetworks_RealShared_00", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=105, ...}) = 0 futex(0x817a0f0, FUTEX_WAIT, -127, NULL <unfinished ...> Is there a workaround for this? Thanks - andre
Ooops. I should RTFM. Using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 seems to work.
Repeat after bugzilla reload: This is the expected behavior. Old JREs don't work with NPTL. Only Sun's 1.4.2 JRE works so far, more to come in the future. No bug.
