I am having problems with programs crashing if they execute sub-processes. I believe the crash is happening when programs call wait(), based on straces of the crashing programs.
I believe this problem is libc's fault, since it started happening when I upgraded libc. I don't upgrade very often, and yesterday I upgraded to the latest sid libc. The libc I upgraded from was before the ds1 series. I am running this Debian installation in a chroot (inside a RedHat installation, actually), so I tried bootstrapping another sid chroot from scratch. I get the same error; dpkg segfaults when it runs the preinst for the first package. $ uname -a Linux trimble1dhcp30.ups.edu 2.6.0-0.test6.1.49 #1 Mon Oct 6 10:15:33 EDT 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Any other information I can provide? Does this seem likely to be a libc problem? Josh
