Re: page fault in mkfontdir

[Mark W. Eichin]

I'll note that the xutils 4.0.2-1 mkfontdir also segv's on Debian/SPARC
using 2.2.18pre21 (kernel-image-2.2.18pre21-sun4cdm) so maybe it
really is an all the world is an x86 bug :-)

Setting up xfonts-base (4.0.2-1) ...
Running mkfontdir in misc font
directory.../var/lib/dpkg/info/xfonts-base.postinst: line 58: 24276 
Segmentation fault  $currentcmd $longdir
dpkg: error processing xfonts-base (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139

I'll poke at it with gdb...  Hmm:
% gdb /usr/bin/X11/mkfontdir
(no debugging symbols found)...
(gdb) run /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0 in ?? ()
(gdb) where
#0  0x0 in ?? ()
#1  0x5006f9ec in _init () from /usr/lib/libz.so.1
#2  0x5006f99c in _init () from /usr/lib/libz.so.1
#3  0x500102c8 in _dl_init () at dl-init.c:136
#4  0x500032b4 in _dl_start_user () at rtld.c:147

That would at least explain why it it faulted just as quickly as a
user as it did as root... (*type type* yep, same trace when run as
root.)

libz.so is from from zlib1g 1:1.1.3-12, if that helps.  gzip and
gunzip work though.

Not up to doing an X build tonight, but if noone gets anywhere in the
next day or two I'll poke at it...

Mark oops, should have looked, bug 82601 is already open (says
Mark sparc only, though) and that it is probably due to some

It says sparc only cause that's all I have.  Nice to see it isn't
sparc only. :/
