core dump in __libc_start_main when run under ldap user
 

Hi,
When i am running a particular user space program ( compiled in
sles9.2) on a test box running RHEL6.1 it coredumps as below.
NOTE the core dump only happens when run as a ldap configured user
but works fine when run as non-ldap user.

NOTE that when the same user space program is run under rhel5.6
it also works fine

Is this something related to bad library or build issue or something
totally different ?

Some more data based on my debug.
It eventually points at something related to RHEL6.1 and user being a ldap user.
Are there any ldap related defaults that were changes between rhel5 and rhel 6 ? That might provide some clues....

On your SLES system you can make your executable "self-containing" using
Ermine (http://magicErmine.com) or statifier (http://statifier.sf.net)

If you are using Ermine, make sure you specify --with-nss=internal switch
If you are using statifier, make sure you preloaded all NSS libraries.
