I think this is the first time I have gotten segmentation faults using
Debian stable, on stable hardware. I got them while, or after, reading several
1.44M floppy disks, mounted using mount or fdmount.
Before the segfaults, I may have lost track of what I was doing and tried to
mount a floppy more than once, possibly several times. The failure may also
be related to previously using wine to unzip a DOS ZIP .exe file.
I continued to lightly use the system for other unrelated tasks and it
appeared to be stable, but later it crashed while shutting down, locking up
with a stack trace dump, IIRC. (Another first for me, with Debian stable.)
After fsck cleanup, the files I unzipped using wine, and several wine conffiles
were gone, as were many other files throughout the root file system. The lost
files were either open when I ran wine, or were subsequently opened.
The kernel is a custom-compiled 2.6.8 stock debian kernel, on an all-stock,
up-to-date
sarge system. Due to the severity of the failure I am reluctant to try to
reproduce it,
but I hope this information helps someone else who runs into this problem.
