[BProc] Re: pthreads+bproc& SIGSTOP -- possible fix

[Nicholas H. <he...@se...>]

Hey Erik -- Ok it looks like there may be >=2 problems combining here to
make life difficult. 

1) Odd ass-ed SIGSTOP problem. I think this may have been solved. We
talked to a few of the other guys here, and apparently the latest
versions of glibc 2.2.4-{31,32} from redhat for 7.2 are SCREWED for
pthreads. Something to do with each thread getting 64k for their stack
when there is a total of 64K of total stack for their threads.  We
reverted to glibc-2.2.4-30, and I have not seen the SIGSTOP problem
again.

2) kill -9 being ignored. Dunno here -- I am going to try the patch
suggested, and see what happens there. Hopefully the trace information
can shed some light on this.

Nic
