Greetings all, I just recently tried to run tar on my system, and started getting wierd segfaults. I'm running 2.0.32, with no extra patches.
mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|0x20, 4294967295, 0) = 0x40007000 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
This is looking very much like a kernel problem somewhere, or a bug in some loader. All my other programs work fine, so it's not an ld.so or libc problem.
I'm running Linux 2.0.32 on an intel pentium 200. Not overclocked. VX board with 64mb RAM. I'm using ld.so 1.9.5, and libc 5.4.33. When I try the same binary on other machines, I get mixed results. When I strace it through another machine, it runs okay, but if I don't run it with strace, it segfaults, and dumps a 24k core file. If there's anything other information I can provide I'd be more than willing to help track down this bug.
Davey
