[issue12936] armv5tejl: random segfaults in getaddrinfo()

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org> added the comment:

I completely removed faulthandler from e91ad9669c08 and the problem
still occurs (with the same broken backtrace).

$ getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 2.7


It is a bit unsatisfying that the segfault isn't reproducible with
the earlier revision, but there are several glibc issues with
__tls_get_addr():


1) http://www.cygwin.com/ml/libc-hacker/2008-10/msg00005.html
2) http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12453


If I run the demo script from 2), I get a segfault both on
debian-arm as well as on Ubuntu Lucid.

So, it may very well be that some recent change in Python exposes a
glibc problem.
