Bug#170861: libc6: famd stopped working / SIGRTMIN problem
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-5
Severity: important
When compiling fam with this version of libc, no rt-signal
will be sent when the contents of a monitored directory changes.
fcntl(fd, F_SETSIG, SIGRTMIN) sets the signal to 32. All kernel
calls as shown by strace seem to be ok, but no signal is delivered
afterwards (not even SIGIO instead of a rt-signal). If the signal
number is changed to SIGRTMIN+1 or higher, everthing works.
Installed kernel package is kernel-image-2.4.19-686-smp.
This is rather mysterious, but reproducable on my system.
