What I can offer in this case is a full backtrace of the testsuite crash, with debugging libs installed: (gdb) bt #0 0x0000020000343a78 in kill () at ../string/bits/string2.h:998 #1 0x00000200003437c8 in *__GI_raise (sig=6) at ../linuxthreads/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:38 #2 0x0000020000344db0 in *__GI_abort () at ../sysdeps/generic/abort.c:88 #3 0x00000200001d747c in read_encoded_value_with_base (encoding=100 'd', base=0, p=0x1200f6236 "\001\004�A", val=0x11f61e1a8) at /build/buildd/gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds2/src/libstdc++-v3/../gcc/unwind-pe.h:259 #4 0x00000200001d772c in parse_lsda_header (context=0x11f61e508, p=<value optimized out>, info=0x11f61e1a0) at /build/buildd/gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds2/src/libstdc++-v3/../gcc/unwind-pe.h:286 #5 0x00000200001d7c6c in __gxx_personality_v0 (version=<value optimized out>, actions=1, exception_class=<value optimized out>, ue_header=0x12011ac70, context=0x11f61e508) at ../../../../src/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_personality.cc:433 #6 0x00000200002f0bc4 in _Unwind_RaiseException () from /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 #7 0x00000200001d82c0 in __cxa_throw (obj=<value optimized out>, tinfo=0x200000982d8, dest=0x2000004d560 <~Exception>) at ../../../../src/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_throw.cc:72 #8 0x000002000004608c in CppUnit::Asserter::fail ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) at Asserter.cpp:21 #9 0x0000020000046614 in CppUnit::Asserter::failNotEqual ( expected=<value optimized out>, actual=<value optimized out>, [EMAIL PROTECTED], additionalMessage=<value optimized out>, shortDescription=<value optimized out>) at Asserter.cpp:84 #10 0x00000001200c7694 in checkXmlEqual (expectedXml=<value optimized out>, actualXml=<value optimized out>, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) at XmlUniformiser.cpp:38 #11 0x00000001200c8a20 in XmlUniformiserTest::testAssertXmlEqual ( this=<value optimized out>) at XmlUniformiserTest.cpp:131 <snip here, everything below is probably not relevant> Looking at the code, I gather that it's expected for this test to throw an assertion, and the problem is that it blows up on the other end. Other tests that use CPPUNIT_ASSERT_ASSERTION_FAIL() seem to work ok, though, so it doesn't seem to be a general problem with exception handling on alpha. I'll dig a bit further and see what I can see. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
