Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: machen@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: mchang@novell.com, rguenther@novell.com, glin@novell.com, jlee@novell.com, bchou@novell.com, acho@novell.com, dchang@novell.com, mlin@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- When uses gdb to interrupt a process and backtrace the stack : (gdb) bt #0 0xffffe424 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb6a08ffe in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0xb6b2d0bb in g_poll () from /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0xb6b1cc46 in ??
