Re: problem with new kernel

My apologies for the double email. For what its worth:

[root@dev linux-2.4.32]# getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 0.60

Not sure what that implies (other than its still broke. :| )

Hi,

you're running a kernel without NPTL support on a distribution that
apparently expects NPTL support to be in the kernel... the failure mode
isn't nice but failure at all isn't totally unexpected...... NPTL is
needed for certain functionality and if a distribution expects that to
be there.. things may well go very wonky if absent. (yes glibc tries to
emulate this but the emulation is quite limited and not really possible)
