Summary

0000202: installwatch (using LD_PRELOAD) segfaults on some ocassions

Description

installwatch LD_PRELOADs its lib which logs events happening in the "make install" procedure, making it a nifty tool to create tgz/deb/rpm packages from source tarballs. However, under uClibc it produces strange segfaults with several source packages. For example: ncurses 5.4

Can't really find the reason :(
(see Additional info)

Additional Information

It's usually just a simple "cd" command somewhere, like "cd $(srcdir)/tabset" in ncurses (which is in turn "./tabset")

In strace, it looks like this:
stat("..", .... ) = 0
stat64(".", ... ) = 0
stat64("/", ... ) = 0
stat64("..", ... ) = 0
and loops again and again for a long time, until:
stat("..", ... ) = 0
--- SIGSEGV

Won't work: cd ${srcdir}/tabset
Won't work: cd ./tabset
Works: cd tabset

(0000123) gabucino 03-31-05 22:26	Sorry I didn't mention: i use buildroot, and busybox.

(0000124) gabucino 03-31-05 22:27	Also in ncurses/misc/Makefile: changing "cd tabset; for i in *" to "cd tabset; for i in `ls`" solves another segfault :(

(0013334) carmelo73 10-11-08 23:54	Please try again with a more recent release. Current SVN trunk is strongly suggested. If this is not longer an issue, please update the status, so that it cn be closed.
