This was one symptom caused by updating glibc to 2.13 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354041) There seems to be a lot of issues with glibc 2.13, particularly on 32-bit x86 and especially if using prelink. Is this your case as well? The prelink topic is pretty hot right now in the Gentoo/ArchLinux world: <http://psykil.livejournal.com/340806.html>http://psykil.livejournal.com/340806.html <http://phajdan-jr.blogspot.com/2011/02/watch-out-for-issues-with-prelink-and.html>http://phajdan-jr.blogspot.com/2011/02/watch-out-for-issues-with-prelink-and.html http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353814 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-863297-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html > $ /usr/sbin/postdrop -r > postdrop: fatal: getrlimit: Operation not permitted > > $ /usr/sbin/sendmail > postdrop: fatal: getrlimit: Operation not permitted > sendmail: warning: command "/usr/sbin/postdrop -r" exited with status 1 > sendmail: fatal: rthompso(303): unable to execute /usr/sbin/postdrop -r: > Success > > > $ strace /usr/sbin/sendmail >/tmp/sendmailtrace 2>&1 > > pastebin of strace > > http://pastebin.com/YwUgLstE > > thanks, > reid
