Goswin - are you saying stable/sarge from amd64.debian.net will have a patched glibc?
There's another application I discovered which fell victim to this pthread issue. But I can't find where it is, and I know it's not as popular as MySQL. It's a shame, I know a lot of people running amd64-based machines for MySQL, and currently if you choose to run a "stable" version you're left with this nasty bug. If a patched glibc is going to be back in stable off amd64.debian.net, I can keep using sarge then. Otherwise I'll have to use testing it appears... - mike On 11/9/05, Goswin von Brederlow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The glibc in stable won't be updated.
