segfaults due to mmap (umoven: Input/Output error)

segfaults due to mmap (umoven: Input/Output error)

[Wolfgang Haeuptli]

Hello everybody

Several programs I compiled recently die with a segfault. 
strace shows: 
mmap (ptrace: umoven: Inout/Output Error...

There are lots of remarks about mmap-problems, but I didn't find a clear
solution. Is that a problem with glibc?
 I'm using kernel 2.2.9 with glibc-2.1.1-6c. Would a glibc-update fix the 
problem, or does somebody suggests something else?

Thanks

No, that's not an error in the program, it's an error in strace.  The
latest version of strace corrects it.  You need to get the Debian
package of it; I don't know where else it's available.  The new home
for it isn't up yet.

Look for strace_*.orig.tar.gz in
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/devel/
