I have to ask you to investigate yourself, Francesco. The previous maintainer throw in the towel and I put my hands on it, to get new versions in and to deal with security issues, but a new maintainer still needs to be found. I have only a x86/2.4 kernel box, so I can't even test/verify. Hi Carsten, problem is i havent a clue on what to do... i am a bit knowledgeable on x86 architecture (i.e. i can examine a bt or strace) but i am completely a newbie on amd64. Plus it works on 2.6.9-rc2 so it should be a problem in the patches for 2.6.8-r4 as i read that other 32bit apps fails with that kernel (it is said some x86_64.org patch broke it) regards I wondered why you flagged this bug as a blocker originally Francesco. I highly doubt that you're testing on a production system - are you!? Comparing 2.6.9 vanilla and 2.6.8 gentoo doesn't help much imho. Could you test, if you can reproduce the problem with 2.6.8.1 vanilla, please? If not and the problem persists in 2.6.9 gentoo (when it's there), then it's probably worth digging into this issue. Thanks that you're willing to maintain Firebird, Karol. Here's your bug. ;) Hi Carsten, i can confirm that this bug does not happen with vanilla 2.6.8.1 as for the 'production' system let's draw a line over it! :-( i am not the sysadm of such a system and i had to pray to upgrade to 2.6.9-rc2 after i tried on another machine that it worked. A lot of programs have this kind of problem, but i can't fix it. Anyway, it's working with kernel-2.6.9 so i think that this bug can be close. |
