Build it with debugging symbols and run it under gdb.
yeah I was using valgrind to see whats really happening.
Also this isn't a refpolicy issue, no matter what's wrong with the policy
semodule shouldn't SEGV.? There is no excuse for a SEGV, any program which
gives one (*) is buggy and needs to be fixed.? Please remove the refpolicy
list from follow-ups.
I was going to rebuild eglibc, but dont have the time or energy if things crash or burn.
(*) Except of course for the unusual cases where hardware errors cause
particular programs to SEGV in which case the hardware needs to be
fixed/replaced.
I hope there is no hardware issues..(but could occur since its an old machine)
alright, will play things by ear then..
Thanks for the info!

hmm... this is odd I just finished with creating a systemd patch(RFC) will send it out after loading, but I cant seem to load due to a segfault like the above. system setup is simple:
qemu with fedora 16 and Mainline policy. I am hitting this with my patch, as well as stock _unpatched_ policy..
I will try a bisect on the policy to see if I can find the bad commit, as well as libc to see what/where things are going wrong.
in the meantime I will send out my systemd patch in the matter if anybody wants to have a go at it.
