I recently had problems with libnfslock on a powerpc machine[1] i was
installing; my machine didn't lock up like your hurd system, but it
caused quite a few things to segfault. I just removed the entry from
/etc/ld.so.preload and things were happy again. I don't know if the
hurd problems are directly related to the ppc problem, but maybe
there's something related somewhere in here... :)
One of the programs that segfaulted was hostname, so i decided to use
it as a test case for debugging. But, as soon as I recompiled it
(with -g and without) the segfaulting went away.
I'll need to investigate this later when I have more time, but if
anyone else has ideas that would be great.
p.s. libnfslock works just fine on my i386 box with the same package
versions.
