Package: zzuf Version: 0.12.svn20091212-1 Severity: important The check-memory test uses all memory + swap until it get killed by the OOM killer. This can render the machine unreachable during some time.
This is due to broken memory limit option. In myfork.c, the memory limit setting is skipped if ZZUF_RLIMIT_CPU is not defined. This define is actually never defined in all files included by myfork.c, but is defined in zzuf.c. By the way the test itself looks stupid, as a process trying to use all memory will either get killed by a limit defined by setrlimit(), by 2GB limit on 32-bit machines or later by the OOM killer. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages zzuf depends on: ii libc6 2.11-0exp1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries zzuf recommends no packages. zzuf suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
