did test with the stock sparc kernel (linux-image-2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp, 2.6.32-31), but the lockup is absolutely the same. >Alternatively, have you tried rebuilding dump from my source package to >see if the problem might somehow be related to the tool chain versions >that were used to build the binary package on the Debian autobuilder? just did that, too: no change, same lockup. do you want me to add a tad of printf debugging to the code in question? regards az -- + Alexander Zangerl + DSA 42BD645D + (RSA 5B586291) "Behold the warranty ... the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away." -- fortune file
