Note: I am running 32 bit userspace on 64 bit kernel I just checked 64 bit userspace and it does not seem to have this problem reproduced in compat mode oh wow! d899bf7b55f503ba7d3d07ed27c3a37e270fa7db is the first bad commit commit d899bf7b55f503ba7d3d07ed27c3a37e270fa7db Author: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net> Date: Tue Sep 22 16:45:40 2009 -0700 procfs: provide stack information for threads With this patch applied, w3m does not crash anymore for me.

Under 2.6.32-rcX, processes using libgc (garbage collection C library), including w3m, or mktable tool which is part of w3m build process, crash with segmentation fault. This does not happen with 2.6.31 and back. Kernel version which has the problem: 2.6.32-rc4 (didn't check earlier RCs). Kernel version that does not have the problem: 2.6.31. Steps to reproduce: install w3m run w3m w3m will crash at startup, about 2 times out of 3. Tested with both w3m in Fedora 11 and ubuntu 8.10 Dmesg shows this output: [ 126.011833] w3m[2317]: segfault at ffe00010 ip 00000000f76f0453 sp 00000000ffdfefd0 error 4 in libgc.so.1.0.2[f76dd000+23000] Note: when run under gdb, the crash does not happen. strace w3m shows: $ strace w3m execve("/usr/bin/w3m", ["w3m"], [/* 19 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x8ffa000
