I've got a strange SIGABRT issue with kcheckpass. Of course, kcheckpass
is not contained in the base system, yet I write to this list since the
base system could be able to help with tracking this down. (kcheckpass
is called from a screen locker which fails to operate properly as a
consequence of the SIGABRT.)
Normal behaviour:
(for example with wrong password)
$ kcheckpass
Password:
Authentication failure
Strange behaviour here (called mybox below):
$ kcheckpass
Abort trap: 6
Have you set security.bsd.map_at_zero=0 ? In my experience, several ports
(eg. samba, cups, parts of kde3) depend on PIE and will not run with this
disabled on 7.x.
