[please CC, as I'm not on the list] I believe there is a problem in the dlopen function in sid's libc6(2.2.5-14.1) on ppc. Unfortuanately I just started playing around with the program on this arch, so I don't know if the bugs been around for a while, or arose in the recent nmu'd version of libc6. I'm working on packaging a program that dlopen's a bunch of plugins. The code used to call this is: fprintf(stderr, "dlopening: %s\n", path); if(!plugin_fd) plugin_fd = dlopen(path, RTLD_NOW); fprintf(stderr,"returned\n"); but sadly the dlopen call never returns: [...] dlopening: /usr/lib/cinelerra/crossfade.plugin returned dlopening: /usr/lib/cinelerra/defaulttheme.plugin returned dlopening: /usr/lib/cinelerra/deinterlace.plugin [New Thread 1024 (LWP 11856)] Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The first twelve seem to load fine and the 13th fails every time. Everything works fine when I run it on my i686. The ppc machine is a 800Mhz TiBook using the standard gcc(2.95.4). Let me know if I can provide any further details, or if you want me to open a bug report for tracking purposes. -m
