[I am resending this email as the previous mail seems to have been lost]Hello All,
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.

I found out the problem myself. alsa-lib uses nested functions and GCC uses trampolines to implement them. As I had disabled trampoline support in the openwall patch they were crashing. Ideally, alsa-lib should stop using nested functions. I think the patch is trivial.
thanks
