Well, yes, an IRC client cannot connect to the IRC server running on an Alpha machine. I attempted to trace the issue into the kernel, but the code for rt_sigtimedwait is really generic to any architectures and the problem probably comes from elsewhere. It does not happen on the other architectures which are the majority, so I thought important was the correct severity. However, if you say it is a grave bug, then it is... Should I reassign it to linux-2.6 source package, because it does not come from ircd-hybrid itself? Cheers, -- .''`. Aurélien GÉRÔME : :' : `. `'` Free Software Developer `- Unix Sys & Net Admin
