Bug 100242 – media-libs/openexr-1.2.2-r1 causes severe memory leak and system crash during configure if used with +fltk use flag

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description t35t0r 2005-07-25 08:44:58 UTC]

On my amd64 if I try to compile openexr-1.2.2-r1 with the fltk use flag, during
the configure process it reaches this step:

Checking for fltk .../usr/bin/fltk-config ...

I have 1g of ram on this machine and it used up that ram in less than 10 seconds
and then in less than another 10 seconds it used up 1g of swap. The machine
became completely unusable. The only thing I could do was ping the machine. It
was not possible to SSH into the machine. I had to do a hard reset.

The ebuild compiles fine without the fltk use flag.

I can confirm this behaviour on x86, with 1gb of memory and 1 gb of swap. I
suppose, that it could be a sandbox issue, because it is slightly improbable for
the configure-script to take so much resources, but who knows::))

[Comment 2 kaouete 2005-11-01 12:51:00 UTC]

yes, the same here.
the problem was caused by :
[openexr-1.2.2-r1] sandbox /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh compile

while de configure and was at : 
checking for fltk-config... /usr/bin/fltk-config

Removed fltk support because it's broken.
