Taroon tries to use NPTL when kernel isn 't NPTL-capable?

Taroon tries to use NPTL when kernel isn 't NPTL-capable?

Hi,

If I boot a vanilla 2.4.24 kernel, Taroon seems to try to use the NPTL
threading library even though the kernel doesn 't support it. This attempted
usage of NPTL causes the programs in the bind and bind-utils packages (for
example, "host ") to segfault immediately:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 1)
# uname -r
2.4.24
# getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 0.60
# host www.redhat.com
Segmentation fault

Red Hat Linux 9 works as I expect. When I boot a vanilla 2.4.24 kernel on
Red Hat Linux 9, getconf reports "linuxthreads ", and the very same bind
binaries work fine:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
# uname -r
2.4.24
# getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
linuxthreads-0.10
# host www.redhat.com
www.redhat.com has address 66.187.232.50

I am aware of the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 hack, and it does work, but to me
(and I 'm by no means an expert on this subject) it doesn 't seem like it
should be needed in this instance; it should always use linuxthreads on a
vanilla kernel, as Red Hat Linux 9 does.

So I 'm wondering: am I missing something here, or is this Bugzilla material?

Thanks,
Jordan Russell
