In the past 24 hours, I've heard back from several of the people involved with essentially the same message as below: the leaks occur when using libkse, but not libc_r. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like it's been narrowed down to a single application, but I wonder if there's a race/reference counting problem in process shutdown when running with multiple KSE's... Anyhow, just a heads up. thanks, Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Projects robert@fledge.watson.org Senior Research Scientist, McAfee Research ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 25 Dec 2003 02:36:49 +0100 (CET) From: Michal Mertl To: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: Re: file descriptor leak in 5.2-RC I found out that the leak doesn't occur in my environment if I change threading library back to libc_r. -- Michal Mertl _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
