Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22 Severity: normal
As already assumed in bug #329719 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=329719> the dirname()-function is erroneous, at least on amd64: it ends up with sig11 (segfault). If you want to reproduce the problem, compile and run this little program on x86_64: #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { printf ("%s\n", dirname ("/home/adi/core")); return 0; } Using gdb (and a copy of dirname.c from glibc-source) it shows that the error is caused by line 72 in dirname.c: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00000000004006d3 in dirname2 (path=0x40083e "/home/adi/core") at dirname.c:72 72 last_slash[0] = '\0'; (note: I've renamed my local dirname-copy to dirname2, but it is the same as in glibc) The same problem also exists on Suse-x86_64, so a possible fix or the problem itself should probably reported to upstream. (note: I'm using reportbug on my i386 as the amd64 has no usable mail connectivity) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7 The Berkeley database routines [gl libc6 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
