<fossy>ooh, i think i found the problem with our kernel causing all these weird issues... it seems to be a maximum number of arguments.
<Hagfish>that problem has come up before with other steps, hasn't it?
<Hagfish>is there a common layer that should be detecting this problem, or is it just a bug pattern that keeps being repeated in disparate projects?
<fossy>Hagfish: no this is a new problem, the result of the linux kernel compiled inside live-bootstrap
<stikonas[m]>fossy: that must be unrelated to previous issue
<stikonas[m]>We has a bug in mes libc
<stikonas[m]>So only binaries built before mes is patched are affected
<oriansj>stikonas: perhaps I didn't parse that last bit right. Do you mean there is a bug in mes libc; thus only the binaries built with it are affected. Or did the bug spread into the next libc when it was built?
<stikonas>programs built with stable mes libc can only take 255 arguments
<stikonas>it should not spread into next libc
<stikonas>and that's fixed in unreleased mes
<oriansj>ok
