If I'm affected, should I expect something like ls to SEGV when run under strace? If so, I'm not seeing this problem with the Debian kernels. They are built w/ gcc 3.3.4 and have CONFIG_AUDIT disabled. I'm running Debian/sid which uses libc6.1 2.3.2.ds1-16. -- --------------------------- dann frazier Hewlett-Packard Linux and Open Source Lab dannf@hp.com
