Yup, I know it is keyword-masked, so I don't know whether you want bug reports. If not, please ignore. I gave above version a try and it made my system unstable, ie my machine locked up after some hours of work. (So the last two days I had about 8 lock-ups.) I downgraded to 20040619-r1 and everything is fine again. The last time I expereinced such behaviour was when I changed the glibc on a non NPTL system to NPTL enabled one. But this system has been NPTL enabled since stage1. I wonder whether a emerge -e world would have stabilized it...or are any recent glibc bugs know leading to above behaviour?

no bugs that i know of, but i dont use NPTL... and i would need a -lot- more information to debug this since this version works perfectly here.
Hi, I installed glibc-2.3.4.20040808 last night and let the computer run through the whole night after that. Not even one single lockup the last eight hours... Poly
Well, maybe it is nvidia binary driver related. I am using 61.06 and glibc 20040619-r1 and since yesterday all is fine again. Anyone here using nvidia driver? Mybe we will get more lock-ups reports from nvidia users since now glibc 20040808 has become ~x86...
I posted a comment to the forums regarding a problem I've consistently seen with glibc-2.3.3-20040808. In short, all of the computers I've updated to glibc-2.3.3-20040808 have lost network connectivity. E.g., I cannot SSH into any of the computers after they're updated, ping common addresses outside our LAN like www.yahoo.com or www.google.com from them, or browse the internet or check mail from them. Every one of ten computers I've updated to this version of glibc has demonstrated this behavior.
Whoops, I forgot to note that the problem goes away after a reboot.
