Thanks, Neil. When you have a chance, please see if the 1-line change below fixes the prctl failure. I believe the test was placing itself into SECCOMP mode and thus getting killed when it tried to do much of anything. In other words, the bug is probably in the test itself. -Paul --- tests/prctl.c 1 Dec 2008 00:42:20 -0000 1.4 +++ tests/prctl.c 2 Dec 2008 01:34:43 -0000 @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ /* Not safe to change this one */ {"PR_GET_ENDIAN", my_type_int_ptr, PR_GET_ENDIAN, PR_SET_ENDIAN, X, X, }, #endif -#if defined(PR_GET_SECCOMP) +#if defined(PR_GET_SECCOMP) && 0 {"PR_GET_SECCOMP", my_type_int, PR_GET_SECCOMP, PR_SET_SECCOMP, 1, 0, }, #endif #if defined(PR_GET_TSC) Neal Becker wrote: > On Monday 01 December 2008, Paul H.
