Package: libc6 Version: 2.2.5-10 The libc6 in Debian/Stable mis-parses /proc/cpuinfo from Linux kernel v2.4.19rc3ac3 when doing a sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF). This is in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getsysstats.c in the GET_NPROCS_PARSER #define. Basically it counts both "processor" and "processor id" as CPUs, causing it to count 4 CPUs in a 2 CPU system. (resultant problem - procps mis-estimates Hz as 50 rather than 100 and then gets process start times and other such things wrong in its output) /proc/cpuinfo follows: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 11 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU family 1133MHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1125.856 cache size : 512 KB processor id : 0 siblings : 1 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse bogomips : 2247.88 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 11 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU family 1133MHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1125.856 cache size : 512 KB processor id : 0 siblings : 1 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse bogomips : 2247.88 David. -- David Luyer Phone: +61 3 9674 7525 Network Development Manager P A C I F I C Fax: +61 3 9699 8693 Pacific Internet (Australia) I N T E R N E T Mobile: +61 4 1111 BYTE http://www.pacific.net.au/ NASDAQ: PCNTF ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
