Hello,
I have seen a lot of troubles with all programs that use threads on
a Sun U80/smp running debian testing.
clamd, bind, milter-greylist, mimedefang, fail2ban and a lot of
other multithreaded programs stop with dead lock. They don't die, but
remain in sleep state (mutex trouble ?). This trouble appear when I have
installed libc6 2.5-9. Kernel is 2.6.20.11.
With glibc 2.5, the threading library has switched to NPTL on sparc,
which has triggered a lot of kernel bugs. This is likely the case here.
Please try to update your kernel to 2.6.21 (or 2.6.22-rc) and see if it
helps.
I have tested with 2.6.21.5. It seems to run longer than with
2.6.20.11, but I can see the same troubles... I will test tomorrow with
2.6.22-rc7.
