[Bug 774852] Re: Postfix 'local' crashes

[Albrecht Dreß]

Hi Serge:

Thanks a lot for your comment - the getrlimit() behaviour is indeed
puzzling!

Having a closer look at my system, I believe I found the reason, though.
The Ubuntu upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 failed to change the bootloader
config (yaboot on Mac's) to boot the kernel coming with the new release.
As a result, I was still running 2.6.36.2 (self-compiled, as I had to
remove some graphics stuff - the Mac shipped with a special Apple OEM
ATI card, which didn't work with the stock kernel; different story).
Sorry, but I really forgot to look at the proper kernel version!

I manually changed yaboot.conf, rebooted - and now postfix runs again,
*without* the getrlimit issue!  This looks like a glibc vs. kernel
incompatibility.  Maybe this is also the reason while Patrick van
Oostrom (#6) has similar effects on i386?  Interesting that *no* other
application showed similar effects.

>From my pov, you could close this one (Tag "user too stupid" :-/ )...

Thanks again for your help,
Albrecht.
