Bug#221969: libc6.1 2.3.2.ds1-10 & 2.3.2-9 causes Segmentation fault in Java JDK1.3.1 programs on Alpha
Package: libc6.1
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Version: 2.3.2-9
After an update of the libc6.1 package (from version 2.3.1 ?? or 2.3.2-7 ??,
i'm not sure about it), running Java programs under the JDK1.3.1 (Tomcat,
SQuirrel) will end up with an Segmentation fault. These programs worked under
previous libc6.1 versions.
Downgrading the system to libc6.1 to version 2.2.5-11.5 resolves the problem.
Upgrading back to 2.3.2.ds1-10 lets the problem reappear.
gdb output shows the following (for Tomcat)
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/bin/alpha/native_threads/java
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/var/tomcat41/common/endorsed -classpath
/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/lib/tools.jar:/var/tomcat41/bin/bootstrap.jar
-Dcatalina.base=/var/tomcat41 -Dcatalina.home=/var/tomcat41
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tomcat41/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap

after a few steps, the segmentation fault appears

--- end gdb
This problem happens on a
Alpha system (XP1000) with Debian GNU/Linux 3.01r stable\testing, kernel
2.2.20 and libc6.1 version 2.3.2.ds1-10,
as well as on a similar
Alpha system with Debian GNU/Linux 3.01 testing kernel 2.4.22 and libc6.1
version 2.3.2-9
It appears to be somwhat similar to bug #220584 since it appearss to involve
libpthread
Cheers
