Description From Mats Rynge 2005-05-31 10:23:19

On Solaris 9, globusrun-ws segfaults when build with gcc32 flavor.

If it is built with gcc32dbg it works.

(gdb) set args -submit -F viz-login.isi.edu -c /bin/hostname
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/rynge/test-src/install/bin/globusrun-ws -submit -F

This looks a little bit like bug 2867 (except the flavoring).

------- Comment #1 From Joe Bester 2005-06-03 18:45:29 -------

Committed a fix to gt4 branch and trunk to avoid the crash (don't cast char *
to
int * on SPARC). I think the autoconf tests related to solaris MAC address
ioctl
are not working correctly. The code being executed where the crash occurs was
the "fake a random MAC" code, which shouldn't be run if the MAC is determined
normally.
