I thought I'd tripple check all my machines because
of the SSL problem reported yesterday. Noticed that
I was running Sarge (!!) on some machines.

Quickly started a dist-upgrade, which finnished quite
late (or early depending of view .

All my services work fine, exept PHPBB2/Apache...

A backtrace when starting 'apache -X' shows:

To me, it looks like it's a problem in the NSS stack... !?

Quickly setting up Apache2 didn't work either:

I'm a little tired after only sleeping 3-4 hours this
morning, so any ideas?


This is a SPARC64, kernel 2.6.20.3 (from kernel-image-2.6.20.3-sparc64).

Here's nsswitch.conf if that matters:

group: files
shadow: files
hosts: files dns [!UNAVAIL=return]
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files

Using strace:

The weird thing is that it seem to only affect
phpbb2 (via MySQL). I'm also running (amongst other
things) phpAlbum (http://www.phpalbum.net/) which
is a 'simple' PHP site (i.e. no MySQL or other modules
involved). In total, there's 24 VirtualHost directives,


Testing through all sites, I also get the bus error
when accessing the Anthill (http://freshmeat.net/projects/anthill/).
Same bt as above...


Trying to setup a very simple php5-mysql test shows
that the problem seems to bee in the mysql library.

----- s n i p -----
root@rigel# strace mysql -h
mmap(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xf7fc4000
read(4, "127.0.0.1\tlocalhost.localdomain\t"..., 4096) = 290
--- SIGBUS (Bus error) @ 0 (0) ---

There is no problem with the MySQL server (v5.0.32-7etch5),
since I can access and administrate it from localhost
on MYSQL_SERVER...
However, I have three SPARC64 (one of which is MYSQL_SERVER)
and two i386. On both the i386 mysql works (same version),
but on the two other SPARC64's I get a Bus error!
