I'd expect it to fail frequently, if the libc is broken. The failing apps would be using threading libraries other than pthread, as happens with firefox using whatever lib glib/gtk uses? GNU Pth, IIRC, doesn't wrap pthread, and gpg can be configured to use it, and then you can check if it fails. I don't remember about other apps that use Pth, and am not sure if gpg uses glibc's malloc()/free(). If gpg doesn't fail, it doesn't mean anything, though. On the other hand, if it fails then your glibc may be indeed broken. You can also set MALLOC_CHECK_=1 environment variable, to tell glibc to do further checkings. As you may have guessed already, verifying if glibc is sane can get very tricky. :) -- Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez <[EMAIL PROTECTED],wait4.org}> Powered by FreeBSD "Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse." _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
