Hello,
I'm not certain if this is a bug with some package, or whether it's just
something odd on my machine, but IceWeasel hasn't been working for me
for a few days. I'm running Debian testing on a Sun Ultra 5.
Looks like debian-sparc was not the right place to ask this particular
question. At first I thought it might be sparc specific, but I don't
think so any more. I'll try asking on debian-user later if I get a chance.
It is a bug with futex (only occurs with POSIX threads support and
glibc 2.5 or 2.6). I have inform David Miller, but I don't know if he
has found a solution. I have seen that a minor bug in futex has been
fixed on git, but I haven't tested.
I have only seen this bug on U60 and U80, never on U2, and few programs
hang (iceape [and all softwares from seamonkey suite], clamd, bind,
milter-greylist, mimedefang...).
Regards,
JKB
