[BusyBox] Busybox SegFaults

[David Douthitt]

Part of the problem I've been having with busybox was with the 
insmod command; I've also been having problems (apparently) with 
busybox first thing on boot.  Since my distro depends on 71 
commands in busybox, it brings the boot process down to "Enter 
runlevel: " (not nice..)

I tried busybox 0.47 (does it all the time!) 0.48 - sometimes, but 
insmod always fails and 0.49 - sometimes, but insmod always fails.

It's starting to sound like a kernel problem - I tried two different 
PCs, same response; three different busybox, same response; 
take libsafe out, same response.

That would seem to leave glibc and the kernel.  The kernels have 
all had the LRP patches (initrd and linuxrc-always) and Openwall 
and VPN+Masq installed. Anyone know if any of these would 
cause problems?  Right now I suspect Openwall - perhaps it is 
"protecting" something (?) and causing a SegFault.

I find it interesting that running gdb on insmod causes an actual 
"untrapped" SegFault to occur.
