i'm pretty sure this is because bash and tcsh create their own process group at startup, and zsh doesn't... so zsh shares the same process group as the su process. suppose we have this pstree fragment: zsh(4782,dean)---su(4788,root)---zsh(4789) both pids 4788 and 4789 have pgrp 4788.

Bug#380391: ntp insists on listening to every virtual interface

Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg-1 in 4.2.0* if you specified -L you could stop ntp from listening on virtual interfaces. sometime since then the upstream has added "-L interface" to specify the interface... but ntpd still insists on listening on every interface it finds! check out this rea

Bug#380391: more info

hmm... it seems that 4.2.0 opened the broadcast address anyhow... it just avoided opening all the other interfaces when given -L. so really the only regression here is that it's opening way more fds than it needs to... especially if you give it "-L eth0". oh btw -- if there are more than ~512

Package: dcc Version: 1.2.74-2 if you look at the make output while building dcc package you'll see that none of the sub-makes have been passed the -O2 flag... so none of the cc lines have -O2 on them. this could very well be an upstream problem... but since the entire package is built in subd

Bug#376301: [patch] support non-ipv6 kernels

the following patch fixes two bugs related to dccproc functioning when the kernel doesn't support AF_INET6. dcc_udp_bind is cloberring errno before using it... and is testing for the wrong errno... it needs to test for EAFNOSUPPORT. i probably should have dropped the EPFNOSUPPORT tests, but i'

Bug#399271: nmh strcasecmp problems

i've finally tracked this down: nmh code assumes strcasecmp accepts NULL arguments. for portability reasons sbr/strcasecmp.c defines str[n]casecmp functions which do accept NULL arguments. /usr/include/string.h declares strcasecmp: extern int strcasecmp (__const char *__s1, __const char *__s2)

Bug#446988: Acknowledgement (must compile -fno-strict-aliasing)

i rebuilt 0.11.7-1 from source (fetched from snapshot.debian.org) and it seems not to be crashing (crashes were occuring in under a day before and i've had 0.11.7-1 going for 2 days)... so this really is a 0.11.7-1 -> 0.11.8-1 regression. i'm going to upgrade my gcc/etc to latest bleeding edge
