As I now get only the rpm floating point exception (sporadically), I have examined it further: ... # strace rpm [lots of strace output omitted] gettimeofday({1096021305, 741150}, NULL) = 0 nanosleep({0, 20000000}, {1076798912, 1075195904}) = 0 gettimeofday({1096021305, 741150}, NULL) = 0 --- SIGFPE (Floating point exception) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGFPE +++ Does anyone else have problems of this kind? It may of course be a bug in rpm but I would then expect it to appear in xen0 as well. This did happen,but only in xen2.0-20040909 and xen2.0-20040910. So the implication (to me) is that there is a problem which sometimes causes rpm to crash in gettimeofday, which did affect both xen0 and xenU in xen2.0-20040909 and xen2.0-20040910, and which now only affects xenU.
