[master] env crashed with SIGSEGV in setlocale()

StacktraceTop:_nl_intern_locale_data (category=0,
_nl_load_locale (file=0x8a61b30,
_nl_find_locale (locale_path=<value optimized out>,
*__GI_setlocale (category=0, locale=0x804dc36 "")
main (argc=3, argv=0xbffe5aa4) at env.c:141

It was then booting the live cd

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Alpha 3 in pt_BR

While searching for coreutils bugs I found a series of 'SIGSEGV in setlocale". I am still investigating this, but I am going to set this bug as the master bug to track.

In pretty much all stacktraces I have looked at, the failure signature is the same. Also, in pretty much all of them the frame for __GI_setlocale has entries similar to this:

#3 0x00e58aa9 in *__GI_setlocale (category=0, locale=0x804dc36 "")
    at setlocale.c:303
 newnames = {0xbffe5ea0 "en_US.UTF8", 0x8a61818 "en_US.UTF8",
  0x8a611d0 "en_US.UTF8", 0x8a60990 "en_US.UTF8", 0x8a602b0 "en_US.UTF8",
  0x8a5fb20 "en_US.UTF8", 0x8050068 "@\210å", 0x8a5f498 "en_US.UTF8",
  0x8a5ee60 "en_US.UTF8", 0x8a5e808 "en_US.UTF8", 0x8a5e100 "en_US.UTF8",
  0x8a5da40 "en_US.UTF8", 0x8a5c170 "en_US.UTF8"}
 newdata = {0x0, 0x8a617d8, 0x8a60fe8, 0x8a60918, 0x8a601d0,
  0x8a5fae0, 0xffffffff, 0x8a5f460, 0x8a5d2c8, 0x8a5e7a8, 0x8a5e0c0,
  0x8a5d8c8, 0x8a5d310}
 locale_path = 0x0
 locale_path_len = 0
 locpath_var = <value optimized out>
 composite = <value optimized out>

Now, if we look at 'newnames' array, we will see that the seventh entry is weird: 0x8050068 "@\210å".

This sounds very much like a memory issue (overrun?).

I will start dupping the other similar bugs here.

Meanwhile, I am confirming this.

Adding a task for GLibC (Ubuntu). This seems to be related to locale.

I have been unable to find a similar bug on RedHat and SUSE.

Thanks.

I have this issue with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Beta 2 live cd.

Locale: it_IT.UTF-8

I had this bug also,

with locale (belgium, I don't know the code)

cheers,

I confirm this bug in daily live (2010.04.27) of Xubuntu 10.04.

wesa831: please do not change status without a comment on the reason for the change.

I received the same issue when booting from USB stick with the stock Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit distro, with the following locale settings using syslinux:

label ubuntu-liveusb-x64
        menu label ^Ubuntu Live USB (clean, x64)
        kernel /casper/vmlinuz
        append noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true console-setup/layoutcode=gb debian-installer/locale=en_GB boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz

locale settings when booted:

$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8

dmesg reports:

aufs au_lkup_neg:326:aufsd[815]: I/O Error, b0 LC_NAME should be negative.
hpfax[3641]: segfault at ffffffffffffffff ip 00007f376f5c1a8f sp 00007fff5e1dc160 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[7f376f597000+178000]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Jaunty reached EOL on April 30, 2011.
