http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1018908 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1018908#c8 --- Comment #8 from Richard Palethorpe --- Well, I think I now know the change which stopped the test from passing, from the same file with fresetlockfiles(): 56290d6e762c1194547e73ff0b948cd79d3a1e03 Author: Florian Weimer Increase fork signal safety for single-threaded processes [BZ #19703] ... - /* Release malloc locks. */ - __malloc_fork_unlock_child (); + /* Reset the lock state in the multi-threaded case. */ + if (multiple_threads) + { + /* Release malloc locks. */ + __malloc_fork_unlock_child (); - /* Reset the file list. These are recursive mutexes. */ - fresetlockfiles (); + /* Reset the file list. These are recursive mutexes. */ The test only uses a single thread in the parent. I am inclined to think that the test is wrong, but also to ask glibc and maybe POSIX for clarification. The documentation should also be updated to remove ambiguity in my opinion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
