I am wondering if anybody has seen something like it or knows if already there is a patch. I do not have a small repro but i will try to explain: The segv happens at memcmp() at a line like: 'strcmp(x, "this is 24 chars long")' where x is a char pointer with a length of 7 and the constant has a length of 24. x is located at the first 8 bytes of the last 16 bytes at the end of a non-contiguous shared memory segment. memcmp() segvs when it tries to load 8 bytes from the "r19" register which initially has the address of x and points to the end of the segment when the segv happens. any help would be appreciated, thanks, Umut __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
