I ran the patch my usual way (SMP kernel, on top of 2.6.33.3, multiple screens, minifail_dave.cpp testcase). In summary I got after 10 seconds 2 segfaults, and in all of the screens the minifail_dave testcases just hang. "ps -ef" gives this: root 2018 1 0 11:29 ? 00:00:00 SCREEN root 2019 2018 0 11:29 pts/1 00:00:01 /bin/bash root 2623 2019 0 11:30 pts/1 00:00:00 ./minifail_dave root 2625 2623 0 11:30 pts/1 00:00:00 [minifail_dave] <defunct> ls3017:~# strace -p 2623 Process 2623 attached - interrupt to quit futex(0x4113c4e8, FUTEX_WAIT, 2624, NULL^C <unfinished ...> Process 2623 detached ls3017:~# strace -p 2625 attach: ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ...): Operation not permitted Interestingly, I got only 2 segfaults but 10 screens/minifails were running (and all were zombies). This means to me, that the segfaults and the zombie/futex-waits are most likely unrelated. Helge -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
