Hi all,

I there was discussion about tar locking up on 715 and the consesus was
that it was spinlock related and due to an alignment issue.

Was this fixed?

Is/Was it a kernel or glibc problem?

As far as I can tell, this is causing dpkg to lock up also -
tiki2:/artemis/install/debian-hppa# ps -H
  PID     TTY                 TIME           CMD
  167     ttyS0             00:00:00       rpciod
  102     ttyS0             00:00:37       sh
  307     ttyS0             00:00:02         dpkg
  310     ttyS0             00:00:01           dpkg-deb
  311     ttyS0             00:00:00             dpkg-deb <defunct>
  312     ttyS0             00:00:01             gzip
  313     ttyS0             00:00:01             tar
  340     ttyS0             00:00:04         ps
tiki2:/artemis/install/debian-hppa#

tar on its own also locks up.

thanks,
