ECO KIT SUMMARY:
A dupatch-based, Early Release Patch kit exists for Tru64 UNIX 5.1A that
contains solutions to the following problem(s):
User applications that are linked with pthreads abort with an "illegal
instruction" error upon startup. This problem occurs if the application
has defined the variable name "table".
The following command should be used to determine if the user application
has defined the variable name "table":
> nm | grep table
The problem occurs in the following libpthread libraries:
_________________________________________
| Tru64 Version | Pthread Library Version |
|---------------|-------------------------|
| 5.1 PK5 | 3.18-138 |
|---------------|-------------------------|
| 5.1A (with no | 3.18-120 |
| patchkit) | |
|_______________|_________________________|
| | |
| V5.1A PK1 | 3.18-136 |
|_______________|_________________________|
| | |
| V5.1A PK2 | 3.18-138 |
|_______________|_________________________|
To determine the version of the libpthread library, run the following
command:
> what /usr/shlib/libpthread.so | grep -i decthread
