I've been able to execute every test in 32bit mode without problems. Has anyone successfully used the clone() system call in a 64bit ppc64 app? And if so, could you PLEASE enlighten me on what I may be doing wrong. I've attached one of the LTP clone tests, clone02, which returns PASS, but also gets a SIGSEGV and has a non-zero return code.....which gets logged as a FAIL. -Robbie (Not subscribed to list so please cc my address) Robert V.
