Re: Segmentation Fault with shared c++ library

[Ling SHI <ling at cs dot mu dot OZ dot AU>]

Hi,

Cancel the bug report. The problem was caused by Solaris7 linker:

(from 106950-01)
4176579 problem loading dynamically linked libraries with setuid root

After apply the patch 106950-01, which you have to pay to get it 
(non-public patches), the problem is gone. This patch is included
in xx/99 version of Solaris7 release. We use xx/98 version of Solaris7
for Sparc, and 03/99 for x86. That's why the problem only happeded
on Sparc.
