This is a bug of the daemon. While it is already suspicious it needs to mess with "/proc/self/exe" stat works for it even when it is already deleted:cp /usr/bin/perl /tmp/perlcopy;/tmp/perlcopy -MData::Dumper -le 'unlink "/tmp/perlcopy";print Dumper stat,readlink for "/proc/self/exe"'
Perhaps I should clarify: stat and readlink, with readlink actually giving the full path to the running executable.
I thought that this was something rather obvious, since, as in this case, the executable image that's being run is not called "/tmp/perlcopy (deleted)".
And I wouldn't be so presumptions as to state authoritatively what is or is not a bug, in something whose purpose is not known to me.
This is a bug of yum, it should run prelink for any updated software.This is a bug of the intrusion detections software which should run documentedway: prelink -u -o - /bin/bash | read the original binary This is a bug of cron, this problem affects me also for nightly updates and nightly build and regression testing jobs.
What would be the Bugzilla entries for all these bugs you've just discovered?
