Hmm, this crashes so early on, I'd say it crashes *within* the dynamic linker (or did you just truncate the stace log so much?). It could also be one of the famous unaligned memory accesses, that use to work on all modern CPUs, except MIPS. Looking at the assembler instruction at the crash location + register dump that would be easy to diagnose (gdserver
anyone?  'info regs', 'disas $pc-8,$pc+8').

In kernel 2.6.39 (probably earlier?) Linux now has an unaligned memory
load/store emulation, that works similar to FPU emulation.  And it is
slow as hell.  But at least it fixes these problems with misbehaving
software.  Maybe we should backport that to our kernel?

Would love to help more, but I'm currently a little swamped with other
work.  Still looking forward to getting the next release :)

cheers,

David


I don't want to sound cynical, but after hearing about all these unfortunate losses, what exactly are we gaining? Is it useful to keep running to keep up with the latest OpenWRT and Linux kernel? Perhaps for security reasons? It just looks to me as an outsider that it is a lose-lose...
