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