Re: libc6 2.3.5-3 crashes 3.0.14a-6

Hello Alexander,

Thanks for this report.

After some holidays, I first updated my unstable debian on my c110 (just 
a bit older then your c240 ;-) ).

Then grab the latest kernel cvs and tried to rebuild it but encountered 
following pb:
   o with 2.6.12.3-pa2 (cvs dated 20050626) build with gcc-4.0: the 
system panicing while 'make menuconfig' ??

   o with 2.6.12-pa0 (also build with gcc-4.0): system panicing again 
at the same place and same kind of
      kernel BUG at mm/mmap.c:????
      Backtrace:
[<1015c5e8>] exit_mmap+0x1b8/0x1d8
[<10126614>] mmput+0x44/0xbc
[<1012a928>] do_exit+0xd4/0xa04
[<1012b2bc>] do_group_exit+0x64/0xcc
[<1010d12c>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14

Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

(unfortunately no cpu reg dump :-( )

   o with 2.6.8.1-pa7: system didn't panicing anymore but 'make' did a 
'Segmentation fault'

but no other 2.6.10 in stock to check if it helps more like for you and 
samba ;-(

I would like to put Carlos in cc just to ask him if he was aware of this pb?

Carlos,

Any clue?

Thanks,
   Joel
