Bug#469058: libc6: New version of libc6 hangs SBCL
Subject: libc6: New version of libc6 hangs SBCL
Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-9
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
*** Please type your report below this line ***
After upgrading to 2.7-9 of libc6 in unstable, SBCL became extremely
prone to crashing
randomly (i.e. 5-10 source files compiled of the SBCL CVS code before a
100% CPU hang which
was only killable with -s 9.
The issue was originally raised on the SBCL devel list here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.steel-bank.devel/10902/focus=10905
I upgraded the system from libc6 2.7-8, which seems to have caused the
problem. Downgrading
libc6 to the package in testing (libc 2.7-6) fixes it again: I've since
compiled sbcl from
CVS twice to make sure.

P.S. The System Information below was generated with reportbug and I've
currently got 2.7-6
installed. libgcc1 doesn't seem to have been up/down-graded, though, so
I think the below is
mostly true except for the "testing" bits, since all other libraries are
at the current
versions in unstable.
