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 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 penfold@customware.com.au
