tags 400083 + patch
thanks
I can't reproduce this problem and it seems weird.
I have no idea why P/Invoke of prctl fails on your machine. The strace
shows that the C library is found, and it would be very weird if you
didn't have it.... :)
I googled and it seems like you're not totally alone on having this
problem, even though it seems a bit rare.
The SetProcessName function has probably been cut'n'pasted between most
Mono applications, do you have the same problem in f-spot, banshee, and
so on?
The attached patch should work around the problem by catching the
exceptions in SetProcessName and issue a warning... I don't believe the
failure of setting the process name needs to be a fatal error.
Patch attached.
