The answer I got from the glibc mailing-list is that it's a bug in
glibc or/and the kernel, which is likely to have been fixed in later
glibc/kernel releases. What's more, the backtrace patch gives
meaningful backtraces except for the top frame; for our small
testcases, it's quite unusable, but for more complex programs, where
the backtrace can contain hundreds of frames, it's probably of less
importance. With these reasons in mind, I'd like to ask for a review
of that patch, in its current state. Of course, if there emerge a
consensus that it's not the right thing to do, I'll withdraw it.
PS: Special offer for the second week-end of august: with all the
people on vacation, consensus starts at 1 maintainer! ;-)
Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-linux, OK for mainline?
