I guess that the bug could be squished by simply rounding down the stack limit to the nearest integer dividable by 4. My feeling is that assertions for internal programming errors. No, it's complaining about the page size, so usually 4K. You can get the value from a shell script: % getconf PAGESIZE 4096 When you set a stack size, you're really messing with the internal state of glibc. It gives you an error message, because it doesn't make sense to use a stack size that isn't a multiple of PAGESIZE. I don't think this is a bug in glibc. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
