Package: libglib2.0-0 Version: 2.16.3-2 Severity: normal
When there are many watchers on the same fd (more than the current ulimit == OPEN_MAX on linux), then enters an endless loop where it prints: GLib-WARNING **: poll(2) failed due to: Invalid argument. The reason is that poll indeed fails with EINVAL, e.g.: http://ue.tst.eu/deceb9a14aa76c380b09b469ecc448b8.txt posix limits the number of pollfd structures one can pass to poll, and glib exceeds that limit when there are duplicate watchers. While this example is pretty synthetic, in practise it is often the case that one has two watchers on the same fd (e.g. read and write, or just temporarily), and this makes glib fail less than gracefully when one is near the resource limit. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libglib2.0-0 depends on: hi libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpcre3 7.6-2 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libselinux1 2.0.59-1 SELinux shared libraries Versions of packages libglib2.0-0 recommends: pn libglib2.0-data <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
