Subject2.6.0-mm2 Surprises
From
Date
I've found some surprises in my testing of 2.6.0-mm2 on my RH 9 box.

First, 'make menuconfig' doesn't work. It paints the top 8 or so lines,
and freezes. gnome-terminal begins using as much CPU as it's allowed.
This is similar to bug 959 in bugme.osdl.org, but changing CHILD_PENALTY
from 90 to 130 didn't fix the problem.

Second, simply resizing gnome-terminal results in the same behavior.
Certainly, this may be a gnome thing.

Third, 'rpm' cannot install packages. It always exists with:

rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily
unavailable (11)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

11 is EAGAIN, but an strace revealed little to the uninitiated (me).

rpm also fails in the same way with --rebuilddb. /var/lib/rpm/__db.001
is zero length BTW. That is almost certainly wrong. Of course, these
both work fine with a 2.4.20 kernel.

Sorry if these (or some variant thereof) have already been reported
here.

Thanks for your time, and please note that I'm not subscribed to
linux-kernel. If you need more info, please don't hesitate to ask.
