[bug #22017] zic can generate files which crash the linux kernel
URL: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?22017 Summary: zic can generate files which crash the linux kernel Project: GNU Core Utilities Submitted by: None Submitted on: Monday 14/01/08 at 09:18 UTC Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any ___ Details: Hi there, Don't know if you'll want to fix, but we just had an issue where zic is generating files which cause a kernel panic in tzfile.c on Linux. Apparently the -01:00 is the offending time offset. cheers, Jamie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) We compiled the following timezone file with zic and put the result in /etc/localtime. This makes tzfile.c fail with assertion that numtypes==1. # /etc/timezone (auto-generated) # Daylight savings time rules #Name YrStart YrEnd Type Month,Day,At,Offset Letter Rule DAYLIGHT 2000 max - Mar lastSun 02:00 01:00 - Rule DAYLIGHT 2000 max - Oct lastSun 03:00 -01:00 - # Timezone description #NAMEOffsetRule Name(/DaylightName) Zone localtime 00:00 DAYLIGHT GMT/BST ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?22017 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #22017 (project coreutils): zic is not part of coreutils, but does belong to the GNU C library (glibc).

RE Serious Boot Bug In Sayabon Linux (reboots reboot process after CORRECT PWD LOGIN ENTERED)
RE Serious Boot Bug In Sayabon Linux (reboots reboot process after CORRECT PWD LOGIN ENTERED) I purchased this in Adelaide, SA. It's been great up to now. The password login details work great on the Console Terminal. So I know my 120gig data is intact. However, I can't access it via the desktop at all. It just reboots the reboot sequence everytime. I just discovered this email address on the dos like directory. I have tried searching on the net nothing about it apart from a mysterious graphical line that shows up on top of the monitor for a bit then it goes straight back to the boot menu. I can do a DIR for the directory see the file system. But I can't access it. I need help asap this is serious. The email address is left here for a reason. Don't want to have to go back to Windows but I will if Sayabon is unreliable.

The problem you're seeing has nothing to do with coreutils, so I'm afraid this mailing list can't help you.

Re: PATCH: source byte order option for od
Robert Dodier wrote: Here is a patch to enable two new options for od, --source-byte-order and --force-byte-swap. Is this to avoid using 'od -tx1'? Often people mistakenly use 'od -x' outputing native machine word data when they really want to output byte data using 'od -tx1'. Native words suffer from endian differences on different machines but byte data is portable.

Is this to avoid using 'od -tx1'? Hi Bob, thanks for your reply. My primary interest is in 4 and 8 byte floats. 4 byte integers are of secondary interest. If there is some existing combination of options which effect end-to-end byte swap for 4 or 8 byte objects, I would be interested to hear about it. But to the best of my knowledge there is no such combination, hence the patch I posted.
