Hi All, Since 8.8, touch has dumped core on solaris 10 (built on solaris 9). The command that triggers the core dump is a simple: touch somefile
This is seemingly related to the recommend patch cluster of Jan 10, 2011 as it runs just fine on older releases of solaris 10. On affected boxes, the file is touched but in the subsequent dup2, it goes into a loop until it dies. I tried to attach truss output, but the MTA at gnu.org rejected it twice. The URL's below have both sparc and i386 traces. http://web.chass.utoronto.ca/bwalton/gtouch.i386 http://web.chass.utoronto.ca/bwalton/gtouch.sparc Please let me know if other inputs would be of use in debugging this. I've taken a brief look but don't see anything immediately obvious. I'm hoping to spend more time on it this evening.
