If I disable use of altivec (VMX) in pixman, then the problem goes away. Makes sense I suppose given it was in the VMX code that it was crashing.
Trying to use valgrind on pixman's failing tests shows lots of cases of reading or writing beyong malloc'd blocks end, but it shows that for running under 2.17 where it doesn't crash. Of course not crashing doesn't mean the code is correct. I can't figure out why libc6 2.13 has it fail and 2.17 makes it work (without even recompiling pixman). Of course it is still possible that pixman's altivec code is doing something wrong. But the buildd logs show it passing pixman building on one of the power5+ build machines, although using 2.13-37 (not -38) libc6. Using -37 does not make it work for me though. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
