i dont think that forum post is relevant. it talks about problems with glibc-2.11, and with resolver problems. nowhere does it talk about crashes that i can see. is fah6 statically linked ?
Yes it is. I guess the only thing that could be done would be to depend on nscd and ewarn people to start it.
So, when somebody add to /etc/init.d/foldingathome like this? depend() { need nscd }
Fixed in 6.34. Thanks!
