Package: xdm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1
Severity: important


I'm running xdm with -nodaemon from init but sometimes (around once a
week) it stops, not starting a new Xserver or terminating itself. 
Debuging the running processes the child xdm process was waiting 
within a futex within malloc, called by parseArgs, called by source. 
My best guess is that is that some signal with one of those longjump
signal handlers is called within an malloc, perhaps within XOpenDisplay
or something like that. 
(i.e. I suspect it is due to #303689, but I am not sure.)

Hi,

I got around writing a small test app to open
packages.debian.org/reportbug the same way reportbug doesn. However it
worked, I then tried with reportbug and it worked too. 

Seems like indeed it was an interim problem with pdo.debian.net I
don't get any gzipped pages anymore from the debian servers that
reportbug accesses.

Thus I'm closing this bug-report. Thanks for your help.

Andreas
