alsamixer crash! ALSA 1.0.0rc2

[Aravind]

Hi all,

alsamixer and amixer both get a seg fault at msort_with_tmp
within glibc. I am not sure whether the bug is in alsa-utils or
glibc or the patch that I applied to my kernel. No OSS emulation.
Sound card driver is es1968. aplay and arecord don't produce a
seg fault. Most probably the call to qsort within mixer.c in alsa-lib
triggers something when openwall patch is present I think. That's my
wild guess.

I have CCed both glibc and openwall.

My package versions are
Kernel:   2.4.23-ow1 (that is the openwall security patch)
glibc:    2.3.2-4.80.6
gcc:      3.2-7
binutils: 2.13.90.0.2-2
alsa-driver: 1.0.0rc2
alsa-lib: 1.0.0rc2
alsa-utils: 1.0.0rc2

thanks for any help.
