Just to 3.8 or earlier? It looks like even 2.6.12 has the same behaviour. We were just unlucky that in this particular case the ld.so.cache file had a certain layout that this was immediatly triggered when "ulimit -s unlimited" was set. However before 3.7 it was very unlikely that we would hit the bug. Only since we switched address spaces on s390 with 3d5787c9 it became likely. So I'd say only 3.7 and 3.8 are relevant. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
