Bug #: 15233
Summary: crash in tzset
Product: glibc
Version: 2.8
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: nit_bng@yahoo.com
CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Hi,
We are using glibc v2.8 and seeing the crash intermittently in tzset() being
called by strftime(). I searched on google and found many similar issues
(http://www.archivum.info/kde-bugs-dist@kde.org/2010-06/08363/%28Bug-210769%29-Plasma-random-crash-%28time-dataengine%29-%28libc-related-tzset-KSystemTimeZoneBackend-offset-KSystemTimeZoneBackend.html).
Out of these, many are closed as non-reproducible and other mentioning that it
is not observed after upgrading the glibc to 2.11. But none of them have
mentioned the root cause or fix of it.
Do we have more information on this (root cause and the fix)? Following is the
stack trace:
