So it looks like procps finally released a fix for this upstream. It is primarily contained in a45dace4 and 95d01362.
I have created a ppa for this here. Can someone please test this ppa, and report back here as to whether it fixes the seg faulting issues related to large numbers of groups. Once I hear back I will push an SRU through and get this into the main archive. https://launchpad.net/~chiluk/+archive/lp1150413 I have also attached the debdiff with the solution to this bug. ** Patch added: "procps_precise.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/1150413/+attachment/3838616/+files/lp1150413_precise.debdiff ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu) Assignee: Matthias Klose (doko) => Dave Chiluk (chiluk) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1150413 Title: Cannot allocate memory if process owned by user with large number of groups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/1150413/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
