What does "alpha-linux" mean?  Alpha processors?
Comment 2 Andrija Pantovic 2004-08-05 06:22:10 UTC 
Yes. 
OS: Linux 
Distribution: Fedora Core 2 
Platform: Alpha
Comment 3 Ulrich Drepper 2004-08-05 07:39:27 UTC 
The best you can hope for is that Richard shows interest.  Richard, feel free to
suspend the bug if you don't want to look at it.
Comment 4 Richard Henderson 2004-08-05 08:10:26 UTC 
Glibc from cvs generally works for me on my debian-hybrid systems.  There
are some thread cancellation backtrace problems still, but that's not the
problem you're reporting here.

You'll have to follow the rules for bug submission and give a standalone
test case that shows the problem.  And against glibc cvs, not something
modified for Fedora.
Comment 5 Andrija Pantovic 2004-08-06 05:34:51 UTC 
What CVS snapshot are you using on your Debian ? 
What patches, configuration options, what headers and what compiler did you 
use to build it ?
Comment 6 Richard Henderson 2004-08-06 05:53:31 UTC 
What's on my system is irrelevant to this PR.
Comment 7 Andrija Pantovic 2004-08-17 14:11:25 UTC 
Will report bug (actualy few of them) properly - against current CVS snapshot 
with proper gdb output ...
Comment 8 Nikolay Zhuravlev 2006-06-15 10:42:46 UTC 
It was not proven that the bug exists in glibc
