These checks break programs compiled with _FORTIFY_SOURCE that allocate fd_sets on the heap. This has long been supported by Linux, all BSDs and many commercial Unix as a way to avoid FD_SETSIZE limits.
Please consider revising the checks to detect explicitly allocated fd_sets or add a preprocessor flag to disable the check. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386558 Title: RLIMIT_NOFILE > FD_SETSIZE seems to cause select() to corrupt the stack To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glibc/+bug/386558/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
