Re: [announce] PCP 2.3.0-11 available for testing

[Troy Dawson <dawson@xxxxxxxx>]

Howdy Ho,
I gave this a try, and have tried both building with the src.rpm and just from 
the source.  Both build fine, and no unexpected errors, but with both ways I 
get the following error in
/var/log/pcp/pmcd/pmcd.log

-------------
# cat pmcd.log
Log for pmcd on thebrain.fnal.gov started Fri Feb 14 09:23:26 2003

NOTICE: using /proc/partitions for disk I/O stats
[Fri Feb 14 09:23:26] pmcd(22462) Error: Unexpected signal 11 ...

Dumping to core ...

I have tried this on both the machine I was building it on, as well as a 
different machine that is basically a fresh install.

Here are a few details.  I don't know what is important and what isn't.
Distribution: Fermi Linux 7.3.1 (based off RedHat 7.3)

Beyond that, I really don't know where to look.

Sorry for getting in so late in the testing process, but most people here were 
happy with pcp 2.2.2 until we started doing some security scans that caused 
pmcd to chew up 100% cpu until it was killed.
