Package: binutils Version: 2.16.1cvs20050902-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Starting with binutils 2.16.1cvs20050902-1 the program c++filt hangs when starting up eclipse when using gcj as Java runtme. Gcj calls c++filt internally when exceptions are thrown to be able to write a stacktrace (to a log file). Downgroading to an older binutils version makes it work again. A workaround that helps starting up eclipse and probablz other Java applications when using gcj is running the following in another terminal: while true ; do killall c++file 2>/dev/null ; done I was able to reproduce this behavior on i386 and powerpc. Other architectures may be affected too. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages binutils depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an binutils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
