No, it is not; according to the bug report, problems started with glibc 2.2.4. I must admit that I personally never tried running a 2.4 kernel on my m68k box, since I did not find the time back then to try it out, and did not hear any success reports from people running 2.4 on m68k (not on [EMAIL PROTECTED], on [EMAIL PROTECTED], or in comp.os.linux.m68k). In fact, yours is the first success report I ever heard. Also, I vaguely remember something about this bug being Mac-specific, but I might have been dreaming about that part. Are you running Debian on that particular box? If not, the problems could be Debian-specific... -- wouter at grep dot be "An expert can usually spot the difference between a fake charge and a full one, but there are plenty of dead experts." -- National Geographic Channel, in a documentary about large African beasts.
