Re: race condition destroying condition variables

[Brent W. Baccala]

Well, I've got a patch that might work, but I'm having a lot of trouble testing it.

I can't dpkg-buildpackage the Debian glibc package.

It gets into the test routines, then a bunch of the math tests crash with SIGSEGVs and SIGILLs, then I get a bunch of kernel errors:

no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2423))

no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2423))

no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2423))

no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2814))

no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2814))

no more room in ee26a908 ((...i386-libc/elf/ld.so.1(2814))

This happens in either tst-vfprintf-width-prec or tst-mallocfork2, depending on whether I allocate 2 GB or 4 GB to the virtual machine.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

And how are the Debian packages built for downloading?  It must be something different than what I'm doing...
