No, I don't believe this is necessary. The one report might just as well have been cured by luck in scheduling. I'm not convinced that all problems are gone. I for one know about a pretty severe problem in the clone() handling which is not even LDT-only (or IA-32 specific). And looking to 2.3, the LDT will be used as well in non-threaded contexts and we don't want to limit the kernels more than absolutely necessary. If somebody has a kernel related problem with threaded applications they can use LD_ASSUME_KERNEL which should work since everybody should have a non-LDT thread library installed as well. -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------
