I have more news on the glibc 2.1 issue. The Problem is that the MIPS ABI does say that a specific section in the Dynamic Linker must be read only, which is different to all? other architectures. The Dynamic linker currently does use this space as a temporary buffer on other Architectures - This means a "Segmentation Fault" on Linux/Mips. Andreas Jaeger is going to do the work for glibc 2.2 which seems not to be trivial ... Probably this work can be backported to 2.1. Flo -- Florian Lohoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] +49-5241-470566 ... The failure can be random; however, when it does occur, it is catastrophic and is repeatable ... Cisco Field Notice
