Package: libc6 Version: 2.10.2-6 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
After resuming my EeePC from hibernation, I can no longer start new processes. This goes so far as preventing shutdown since init itself cannot be forked so that the only solution is a hard reset. Hence the 'breaks the whole system' justification. Also, although this only happens after hibernating, I feel this is a pretty unavoidable activity on a laptop. Since no new process can be started (including gdb, strace, etc), this is quite hard to debug. I do get some traces in /var/log/syslog though: Apr 7 11:58:47 malte kernel: [ 122.856385] sh[2687]: segfault at b773f11f ip b772f001 sp bffb8300 error 7 in ld-2.10.2.so[b7725000+1c000] Apr 7 11:58:47 malte kernel: [ 122.961515] date[2690]: segfault at b781f11f ip b780f001 sp bfaaed00 error 7 in ld-2.10.2.so[b7805000+1c000] Apr 7 11:58:47 malte kernel: [ 122.963258] sort[2693]: segfault at b78e311f ip b78d3001 sp bfa10ad0 error 7 in ld-2.10.2.so[b78c9000+1c000] Apr 7 11:58:47 malte kernel: [ 122.963836] uniq[2694]: segfault at b787c11f ip b786c001 sp bfa5fdc0 error 7 in ld-2.10.2.so[b7862000+1c000] Apr 7 11:58:47 malte kernel: [ 122.966155] rm[2696]: segfault at b770711f ip b76f7001 sp bff05d20 error 7 in ld-2.10.2.so[b76ed000+1c000] I am reporting this bug against libc6 because if I understand the above traces correctly, they indicate that the crash occurs in ld-2.10.2.so which belongs to libc6.
