Package: libc6 version: 2.2.5-11.1 References ---------- Bug 121391 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=121391 This bug has been closed eliminating the lines of code using pread() and pwrite() (and using the alternative code provided for systems not providing pread() and pwrite()) but it seems that the problem is in the fact that pread() and pwrite() are broken in glibc for non-i386 architectures: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-30/0486.html http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-30/0493.html http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-30/0411.html http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-30/0439.html http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-30/0469.html And finally: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-30/0559.html where it is written that it is a glibc bug, fixed in the CVS. (other reference: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15983)
IMHO, the fix applied in the CVS should be backported to the libc6 package shipped with Debian Woody, to allow PHP (and maybe also other packages) to correctly work also on non-i386 platforms also using pread() and pwrite().
