Correct.

Right. My point here was that I *didn't* have to use your patch to prevent the splash screen lockup - I'm running stock Cinelerra-HV with my trivial Makefile patches so it could build. This puzzles me somewhat since it suggests that the cause of the lockup is dependent on other external issue which perhaps is exasperated by glibc 2.5.

Hmm, ok. I *think* slack 12.0's default kernel is now compiled for SMP, and the machine I'm running on is also compiled for SMP (CPU is a dual-core). Excepting some obscure kernel issue that's been recently fixed (or an HV/CV difference) the environment should therefore be almost exactly the same, so it's a bit puzzling why I don't see the lockup and you do.
