YALG post - Yet Another linux-gate.so.1 post - What's the TRUTH?
after reading to nausea about linux-gate.so.1, it pains me greatly to
still need to post another question about it.
first off - please - nobody mention http://www.trilithium.com/johan/2005/08/linux-gate/
I would really appreciate that. Been there done that - didn't answer
my question or solve my problem.
I'm not sure 100% that I have a problem with linux-gate.so.1.
What I AM sure about, (I think ;-), is that I have pointers to it,
and it DOES NOT EXIST.
Now - you're thinking, well, gee, sure it doesn't exist - that's why
there's 100's of posts about it.
Seriously - it doesn't even exist in memory!?!?!?
here's my [snipped] output from $ ldd /usr/bin/scp
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
it references a memory location; so according to a website I won't
mention; here's what cat /proc/self/maps looks like:
08048000-0804c000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 605108 /bin/cat

So - as you can see - when I say I don't have a linux-gate.so.1 on my
system -
I don't even have the memory range that ldd SAYS l-g.s.1
references!!!!???
so - my question is simply this -
how do I fix my system, so that either l-g.s.1 IS properly referenced,
or removed from my system altogether ???
TIA - Bob
