> Given your earlier comments it would seen the segfault is not > reproducible and happens often and randomly? I gave 2.6.28-rc7-git5 a try this evening. Hit the same error. While its occurence may be random, the identical fault occurred multiple times in a short period of testing. I see this bit of code in _dl_fixup: 0x401ed464 <_dl_fixup+172>: mfctl tr3,r21 0x401ed468 <_dl_fixup+176>: ldw -3e0(r21),ret0 0x401ed46c <_dl_fixup+180>: cmpib,<> 0,ret0,0x401ed628 <_dl_fixup+624> and 0x401ed5fc <_dl_fixup+580>: ldi 1,r24 0x401ed600 <_dl_fixup+584>: ldi 0,r23 0x401ed604 <_dl_fixup+588>: mfctl tr3,r26 0x401ed608 <_dl_fixup+592>: copy r24,r25 0x401ed60c <_dl_fixup+596>: ldo -3dc(r26),r26 0x401ed610 <_dl_fixup+600>: copy r19,r4 0x401ed614 <_dl_fixup+604>: be,l 100(sr2,r0),sr0,r31 0x401ed618 <_dl_fixup+608>: ldi d2,r20 So, the code is using the thread register (cr27). Not sure what syscall this is. However, the problem might be TLS releated. Dave -- J.
