Due to glibc having the patch adding cfi directives, but libgcc_s not having the patch for the unwinder this creates an endless loop, hence that thread stores the same info again and again, probably appending to a list or something. So everything continues to work, just that one thread sucks up memory. That's only a theory, though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
