Re: Thread problems in the chrooted environment?

[Markus Auvinen]

I'm sorry to have disturbed you - I finally found some hints 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/openpkg-cvs@openpkg.org/msg03456.html, 
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/13/2005/02/3/286617). It 
seems to be a bug in glibc from the summer of 2004, which puts bash in 
an endless loop.

I'm not the only one having problems, so I guess it's good this came up 
after all...

LFS 6.0, Chapter 6.3:
Entering the chrooted environment works fine, as does shell commands. 
BUT, there's something wrong with the thread handling: Internal bash 
commands poses no problem, nor execution of external commands (that 
are forked and run as child processes I suppose). However, these child 
processes never return, meaning the shell hangs (and doing ps -A shows 
the process as being <defunct>).

Have I missed some thread handling code or what? The bash command 
works fine when run on the host, as does the little compilation test 
(cc dummy.c).

Thanks
