This is a completely rebuilt machine from a working i386 install that has tracked -current forever. There is absolutely nothing that is compiled and pointing to libc_r. I use to have libmap.conf point as follows: libpthread.so libpthread.so libpthread.so.1 libpthread.so.1 With this, gnome-terminal will crash constantly. I normally have 2 windows with 4 tabs each running. It crashes when I log in and they crash at odd times when I try to start a new one from either nautilus menu or panel button. With libmap.conf set to libpthread.so.1 libc_r.so.5 gnome-terminal works as it is suppose to. No crashes at all. Firefox is the only thing I have trouble with now - it crashes when I type in a character to the google search text widget. This was the behavior with kse before, so it is probably not thread related. libpthread is broken somewhere on amd64. Or it is possible that kse is uncovering an issue with something else. I frankly do not trust libreadline. It doesn't seem to work well with pthreads. I noticed several warnings when doing a buildworld in readline. But the bottom line is that gnome is practically unusable with all the crashes when using kse and appears quite stable with libc_r. This is with a system built entirely from -current as of today (Friday June 4). Updated ports as well. Cheers, Sean
