Subject: [ARM - Xscale Pxa 255] dlopen()s segfault at first runt; Subsequent
 runs succeeds.

Hi,

With Linux 2.6.18 we're experiencing the symptoms describe above; On the 
first attempt to load a binary which in turns explicitly loads a DSO, 
there's a crash. Subsequent attempts succeeds.

The machine is a gumstix (400mhz pxa 255), kernel 2.6.18, uclibc, gcc 
3.4.5 binutils 2.17 (also tested with 2.16.1).

I've booted it with user_debug=0x1f parameter and got these:

(On the boot, a script runs that call iptables several times, and it 
eventually loads different DSOs conforming to what is requested, 
therefore the crashes).

If I get rid of the rules it succeeds (some don't, because it crashes 
beforehand), and run the script again, everything go fine.

The most interesting example of this is asterix: a user reported running 
it several times, and each time it crashed on a DSO load, but on the 
next time that particular one succeeded, and the load of another 
crashed, until everything runs just fine, and the crash doesn't happen 
again until reboot.

The root file system is jffs2, by the way.

If I just replace the kernel by a 2.6.17 one, everything runs fine.

Just ask for any other details, and please CC: me as I'm not subscribed.

Thanks,

- Alexandre
