I can, but I don't think it's likely to happen soonish. I really need
to focus what little development time I have currently on getting BIND
9.4.0 ready for the 7-current base.

compat.linux.osrelease: 2.4.2
Based on your description, and the fact that you're running with
ULE+libthr but with UP, I'd be pretty comfortable saying an SMP
problem is "likely" at this point. If someone wants to come up with
some patches that will likely help the futex+SMP problem, I'll be glad
to test them. Otherwise further testing on my part will have to wait
till I get some more spare cycles.
Thanks,
Doug
