Description E. Papegaaij 2004-01-11 08:32:48 UTC
ls segfaults in /dev and some other directories. It seems to be very rare, but reproducable. The problem is caused by a patch that was excluded in -r3 but is now included:
     52     # Mandrake's lsw patch caused issues on ia64 and amd64 with ls
     53     # Reported upstream, but we don't apply it for now
     54 #   mv ${PATCHDIR}/mandrake/019* ${PATCHDIR}/excluded
Uncommenting this line fixes the problem, as does downgrading to -r3, which does not apply this patch. Either this patch needs to be fixed or removed.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge the latest coreutils (5.0.91-r4) on amd64
2. Run ls /dev

Actual Results:  
 

Expected Results:

yes, we're aware of this, it should have been marked -amd64 last night.

seemant broke it again by applying the mandrake ls patch ...

fixed the problem -- lsw patch IS applied as is a 64-bit-fixes patch.
