Hi!

When I am running kernel 2.2.13 (intel SMP), all
a.out X applications crash directly after
start with a memory error. I have attached
a typical strace output of the crashing process,
they all seem to crash at the same place.

When I am running 2.2.9 (intel SMP) I don't see
these problems, so it must somehow be kernel related.
The behaviour is perfectly reproducable.
Of course, kernel support for a.out binaries is
enabled in both cases.

Is this a problem with my setup or is it
indeed a kernel problem?
Am I the only one still running some a.out binaries?
Do you need more information?

I am attaching
- .config of the 2.2.13 kernel
- strace output of xsnow (as an example :-)

ldd output:
$ ldd /usr/i486-linuxaout/bin/X11/xsnow
libX11.so.3 (DLL Jump 3.1) =>
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libX11.so.3
libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /lib/libc.so.4

HW: Dual Pentium II @333 MHz, 128 MB RAM

Thanks a lot for any help,

regards,

Oliver Mai
