Is there a serious NPTL problem with sarge?

2005-04-07 Thread W. Borgert
Hi, a colleague observed crashes in some heavily multi-threaded Python applications. He is running Debian sarge with stock kernel 2.6.8-2-686. Using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL "fixes" the crash, so it seems to be an NPTL issue. (Maybe stupid) questions: - Is it relevant, whether Python is compiled on a
