#954 autofs-5.0.3-30
Closed: Fixed None Opened 15 years ago by iankent.

This build contains corrections for two recently identified SEGV bugs.
Please consider including this build in F-10.


The HUP signal SEGV (library re-load problem) has been under investigation
for a while pending feedback. Having been able to reproduce it myself, the
ease with which I was able to reproduce it and the lack of negative feedback
makes me feel this change is worth pushing to F-10. The second patch for this
problem (the expire thread create patch) is also needed but is much harder to
reproduce. Testing using the autofs connectathon suite has shown autofs
continues to behave correctly with these patches present.

The second SEGV correction is an obvious mis-use of alloca and should
be be fixed.
