when emerging nvidia-glx-1.0.4349, the following error appears: >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4349.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-glx-1.0.4349/work * Applying nvidia-glx-1.0.4191-defines.patch...

after some testing and reboots, this seg fault doesn't appear to affect the emerge significantly or glx performance.
Not fatal. What happens if you change the line in the ebuild to: ${S}/usr/bin/tls_test &> /dev/null ?
changed line 38 in nvidia-glx-1.0.4349.ebuild to read: ${S}/usr/bin/tls_test &> /dev/null results in the following on the command: emerge nvidia-glx-1.0.4349.ebuild >>> Unpacking NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4349.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-glx-1.0.4349/work /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 1166: 14857 Segmentation fault ${S}/usr/bin/tls_test >&/dev/null >>> Source unpacked. emerge still completes successfully (non-fatal error, i guess).
Is the bug still in nvidia-glx-1.0.4496 or nvidia-glx-1.0.4363 or can we close the bug?
seems to be fixed
