Bug#398000: libc6: corrupted double-linked list in sshd on sparc32-smp
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-7
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I just got a second processor for my old sparcstation10,
and tried running kernel-image-2.4.27-3-sparc32-smp which
booted OK but I couldn't ssh into the machine.
Running sshd -d on the console over a serial line and attempting
to ssh from another mchine in I get
:
debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT
*** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x0007d430
debug1: do_cleanup
abort
[this manually transcribed, may be some inaccuracies in it]
reverting back to the old kernel made the problem go away.
This happens every time I reboot into the smp kernel. I've tried
some other (unofficial) 2.4-sparc32-smp kernels with the same
behavior. Never had it with a uniprocessor kernel. 2.6 kernels
have broken smp on sparc32, so that is not an option.
Other services also seem to break (nagios-statd etc) but
ssh is the killer, and makes it rather difficult to debug --
I don't have a monitor or keyboard for this box
