XMMS was randomly crashing with some sort of "Futex_Wait" error in the strace output. Plugging this error into google and doing some searching revealed a patch for this issue at this link: http://bugs.xmms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1160 After applying the patch to XMMS-1.2.7-r24, it has stopped randomly crashing. Is there any way we could get this into portage? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have xmms and nptl on target system 2. Listen to music in xmms 3. It should crash while playing music Expected Results: XMMS should not have crashed and after being patched it does not crash. paladine root # emerge info Portage 2.0.48-r7 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3, glibc-2.3.2-r3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.0-test2-mm5 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="x86 3dnow avi crypt gif jpeg mad mmx mpeg ncurses png quicktime spell truetype xmms xv zlib readline X sdl pam ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome qt kde motif opengl acpi acpi4linux alsa -cdr gtk2 gtkhtml imap lirc memlimit moznocompose moznoirc moznomail nptl offensive pic radeon S3TC samba sse threads xosd xvid -oss -apm -arts -cups -encode -foomaticdb -gpm -gtk -java -libg++ -libwww -mikmod -nls -pdflib -slang -svga -xml2 -gdbm -berkdb -tcpd breakme" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=387,sse -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=5 -falign-loops=5 -falign-jumps=5 -fprefetch-loop-arrays -m3dnow" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=387,sse -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=5 -falign-loops=5 -falign-jumps=5 -fprefetch-loop-arrays -m3dnow" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
Created attachment 15726 [details, diff] Fixes crash in xmms-1.2.7-r24
Commited in -r25 (~x86 masked (obviously)). If things don't go well i'll probably just nuke this rev. patching xmms is becoming a seriously black art... Thanks for the submission.
