Oh I'd not be surprised in general, although I would be a bit for dpkg at least, given that there's supposedly ppc64 and sparc64 around somewhere. > However, why I mentioned it: As least on s390 we have unexplained, > non-reproducable segfaults in malloc sometimes, retrying always fixes the > problem. I'm not certain if this affects s390x too. Maybe it was on s390 logs I saw those segfaults. In any case it might be a good idea to enable core dumps on the buildds there, if they are not already enabled? regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
