Under high load, when emerging packages for example, certain applications seize to function. For example: nomego@patrik:~$ su - Password: Cannot execute /bin/bash: Bad address And vim/nano can't be invoked through mutt. (Usually goes fine from a shell-prompt though.) (System: linux-2.4.18-xfs with gcc-3.1-r4)
It appeared to be yet another bug in a gcc-3.1 compiled portage. Switched to a gcc-2.95 compiled portage, as of now I haven't been able to reproduce it.
patrik, is this still an issue?
For me, no.. but I don't think anyone ever solved it? I've recompiled my system with newer gcc's for that to disappear..
closing this bug, since no-one has reproduced this error since..
