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,
- Damian

not entirely, yet.

glibc. it's a `pthreads' problem.
