Details

Since the last upgrade some programs including wish and mplayer segfault right at start.

I suspect the glibc package, as tk was not upgraded and installing the previous mplayer version from the cache segfaults too.
The gdb trace is identical for mplayer and wishx:

#0 0x403213cc in memcpy () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x4038c850 in __libc_pthread_init () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
#2 0x401ae6b6 in __pthread_initialize_minimal_internal ()
from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
#3 0x401ae348 in call_initialize_minimal () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
#4 0x401adf28 in _init () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
#5 0x4000c6c7 in call_init () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
#6 0x4000c82b in _dl_init_internal () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
#7 0x40000b55 in _dl_start_user () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2

Versions:
- kernel 2.6.7-rc1 (custom built)
- Tk 8.4.7-1
- mplayer 1.0pre5-5
- glibc 2.3.3-2
The system is otherwise up-to-date as of 2004-10-08

Some questions:
- How can I help to narrow down the problem ?
- How can I get the previous version of glibc ?
This task depends upon

Note: After downgrading to glibc-2.3.2-3 from the 0.6 release, everything ssems to work fin again.

I cannot reproduce. Do you still have this problem?
