2.1.125 Showstopper questions

Hi

A couple of questions for the gurus:

[alan]
> Core dump
> Core dumps as root are still broken (rough patch exists)

Where is this patch please?

[alan]
> 2.1.x won't let you debug threads
> Some fixes for this in 2.0.34 need forward porting. (may all
> now be done)

Can someone confirm if these have all been done please? I'm about to get
into debugging some threaded stuff and I'd like to be sure that the tools
and kernel I have are doing the right thing!

Since I'm sure someone will ask this, the thread-aware gdb stuff is
available in rpm format from http://odin.appliedtheory.com/ with the
original stuff at http://www.gr.opengroup.org/java/jdk/linux/debug.htm

Finally (a little off topic), can anyone recommend any good memory leak
detection libraries, preferably something that will work happily with
glibc and linuxthreads? I've stumbled across: mem_test-0.13 and
ccmalloc-0.2.3. Any others out there or recommendations?

Thank you,

--Craig
