 Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 1:53 pm Post subject: [Solved: workaround] firefox segv caused by libnss_wins.so |
 |
|
When I started up firefox this morning, just as it finished loading google.com/ig it seg faulted. I ran it under gdb and it said that the crash happened in
| Code: | Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread -1266889824 (LWP 2441)]
0xb280193f in toupper_w () from /usr/lib/libnss_wins.so.2 |
When I removed the "wins" entry from my nsswitch.conf file, firefox runs fine.
Anyone know what this might be? Thanks
Edit: I logged a bug for this. Thanks for the help.

| It looks to be this. Try updating the package which owns /usr/lib/libnss_wins.so.2. |

It does appear to be the same issue. I just tried backing off to samba-3.0.22-r3 and the segfaults go away. wins resolution works again. I guess that makes this a regression for 3.0.23. Would this be an appropriate bug for gentoo or samba? Yes it is a samba but, ubuntu did patch it in the thread referenced above.
Thanks for the pointer. |

| How can I mark a thread solved? I tried just changing the subject but that only changed my most recent post, not the whole thread. |

Unless I am mistaken Gentoo propogates bugs and fixes upstream when necessary or appropriate, so I recommend that you submit it to Gentoo Bugzilla, preferably linking to the thread to which I linked previously as it links to a patch which is said to solve the issue.

Edit the post at the head of the topic, change its subject then submit the new version. |
