host, dig, named segfaults on my centos installation. the installation is rather canned, no personally compiled programs whatsoever. Updated with yum update, still segfaults. I use the latest 2.4 kernel.

I also cannot seem to strace anything.

Any clue?

Same segfault with 2.6 kernel.

Thanks to the guys at the support ticket system, the problem is now solved.

 # mv /lib/tls /lib/tls-disabled 

berware with the /lib/tls-disabled solution.

Running yum update re-creates the /lib/tls directory, leading to mysterious crashes again.

more precisely, yum updating glibc will re-create /lib/tls
