Bug#214077: libc6





Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2-7


Hi, I've two servers running debian testing a one BIG problem

These servers were up from 3 years.

A month ago I did a dselect-upgrade, and the libc6 was upgraded.
Since then I've this problem : randomly, after one-two day or after
some hours, the file :

/lib/libpthread-0.10.so ( linked from /lib/libpthread.so.0 )

goes to ZERO byte, and so many services and basic commands (like ls)
don't work anymore.

by now my libc6 version is : 2.3.2-7

web@grisu:~$ more /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.22 (root@grisu) (gcc version 3.3.2 20030812 (Debian prerelease)) #2 SMP mer ago 27 17:14:23 CEST 2003

web@grisu:~$ ldd /bin/ls
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x4001a000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4002c000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x4015a000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


I've already tried reinstalling EVERYTHING from zero, but had no luck,
the problem still persists...

Looks like something creates a buffer overflow, but I can't understand
why this library becames of zero bytes.


sometimes instead of the ELF header I find this ASCII file :

/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)
GROUP ( /lib/libpthread.so.0 /usr/lib/libpthread_nonshared.a )

what could it mean ?

What could I check or how do I trace ? I didn't see nothing from the logs...
Is there a way to make the library create a trace, so to find out the problem ?

thank you and best regards
