Are you using the latest 2.3.0 source tarball dated 11/21/2002 at 8:01
PM? There was a known problem in that area of ksym.c that _should be_
fixed in the latest source. If you're using the latest source then we
still have a problem.

I'm running a system using the Linux 2.4.19-aa1 kernel without module
support. pmcd dumps core after running in ksyms.c. Specifically, it
dumps core in the find_dup_name function on the line:
res = strcmp(ksym_a[i].name, name);
since ksym_a[i] is equal to 0x0. This function is called from line 417:
/* Determine if symbol is already in ksym array.
If so, make sure the addresses match. */
res = find_dup_name(ix - 1, addr, strbuf);
which is called from:
void
read_ksym_sources()
{
__psint_t end_addr;
/* ...snip... */
if (read_ksyms(&end_addr)) /* read /proc/ksyms first */
read_sysmap(end_addr); /* then System.map */
}
I'm not sure how to fix this; checking for a null is easy but fixing
(and understanding) the cause is better. I have a corefile available....
The reason I tried 2.3.0 is because many of my systems are reporting no
disk performance measurements (disk.*) at all.
