Description Alin Năstac (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-02 21:52:53 UTC 
I tried to fix exec stack QA warnings of the net-dialup/slmodem-2.9.11_pre20051101 package, but those modified programs crashed with segfault afterwards.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
 cd /usr/portage/net-dialup/slmodem
 ebuild slmodem-2.9.11_pre20051101.ebuild compile
 cd /var/tmp/portage/slmodem-2.9.11_pre20051101/work/slmodem-2.9.11-20051101/modem
 ./modem_test #program runs normally; hit Ctrl-C to stop it
 scanelf -Xe modem_test
 ./modem_test #Segmentation fault
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-03-03 20:32:34 UTC 
ok, in your e-mail i thought you said that `scanelf` was segfaulting, not `modem_test`

see comment #13 in Bug 123733 for more info

Alin,
What arch are you on? bug #124699 may be related.

x86.

I opened this bug because Mike told me so. I didn't thought it was a scanelf's problem in the first place.
