Does Suse 10.1 use glibc-2.4? If so, support for the old linuxthreads, which was previously enabled by LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 has now been dropped. This is from the glibc-2.4 release notes... * The LinuxThreads add-on, providing pthreads on Linux 2.4 kernels, is no longer supported. The new NPTL implementation requires Linux 2.6 kernels. FWIW - this same thing applies in Fedora Core 5 as well. The NPTL code (which is your only option with the new glibc) seems to be working fine for me with VDR-1.4.0. Jon
