Description calculuspenguin 2010-01-25 06:37:24 UTC

On both sparc-solaris and sparc64-solaris, top (as provided by unixtop) segfaults or bus errors when executing.  The issue appears to be caused by high thread ids [1].  Running the sample program in the mentioned bug causes top to reliably segfault.  After applying the upstream mentioned patch [2] (also mentioned in [1]), top no longer segfaults when running with the sample program.  Please see to applying the patch in gentoo.
