Why ?
Severity: important Hello,I have seen a lot of troubles with all programs that use threads on a Sun U80/smp running debian testing.clamd, bind, milter-greylist, mimedefang, fail2ban and a lot of other multithreaded programs stop with dead lock. They don't die, but remain in sleep state (mutex trouble ?). This trouble appear when I have installed libc6 2.5-9. Kernel is 2.6.20.11.With glibc 2.5, the threading library has switched to NPTL on sparc, which has triggered a lot of kernel bugs. This is likely the case here.Please try to update your kernel to 2.6.21 (or 2.6.22-rc) and see if it helps.
2.6.21.5 sounds to have fixed these bugs. Regards, JKB
