Package: libc6
Version: 2.24-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
One month ago everything worked fine on my Debian sid computer.
After an update/dist-upgrade cycle in which libc6 was updated I started
noticing some malfunctions.
I couldn't use rakudobrew (the Perl6 installation program) anymore.
I couldn't use the Selenium driver (a java program which drives the browser and
provides an API to several programming languages).
rsync started failing on big files.
"java -version" fails.
Yet, this doesn't appear to be a hardware problem: my computer works fine, even
under heavy load. No other program seems to be affected, neither the browser
(chrome), nor the music player (clementine), libreoffice, evince, gimp, etc.
All the failing programs appear to be using threading. It shows even on small
snippets of code: I'm collecting interesting snippets of Perl6 code; while most
of them work fine, the ones that use threading are not working anymore.
While I'm not able to debug libpthread, what I can show are just the symptoms.
The command "java -version" outputs this:
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x7f570c3fb000,
172032, 0) failed; error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)
#
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (mmap) failed to map 172032 bytes for committing
reserved memory.
I'm attaching the error logs as java-version.hs_err_pid12374.log and
javaws.replay_pid12456.log.
javaws outputs this:
#
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 32744 bytes for
ChunkPool::allocate

I'm attaching the error log as javaws.hs_err_pid12456.log.
Running rsync I got this error:
ERROR: out of memory in flist_expand [sender]
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util2.c(102)
[sender=3.1.1]
While I can successfully run any Perl6 program, those which use the concurrent
programming interface of the language, fail showing errors like this:
Memory allocation failed; could not allocate 4194304 bytes
I can't even use reportbug, because when it spawns the editor to make me check
the generated email it crashes with this error:

# Reduce memory load on the system
