This appears to be another problem. It should seg fault immediately if it's the NPTL/TLS problem. I've had various reports of mysql and named seg faulting as well using 2.4 or 2.6 guests, but always after some "uptime". More recent versions of the skas patch have been stable and the problem seems to have been eliminated. You might also want to give 2.6.9-bb4 a shot as your guest patch. I have confirmed reports that named doesn't crash any longer under this kernel, where it did under some of my older 2.6-um kernels but not on any of my 2.4-um kernels on the same host kernel (so it wasn't the host or skas kernel version in that scenario). http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/patches/guest/uml-2.6.9-bb4/ Do you know if and what version of the skas patch the SuSE kernel uses? -Chris ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
