| I'm on Gentoo Linux with glibc-2.9_20081201-r2, python-2.6.2, e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.3-r1 When Emesene send offline message to another msn user, it call uuid4() in uuid module in python, which call get_random_fd() in gen_uuid.c(e2fsprogs-libs). After this, the program got signal SIGSEGV. When I used gdb attach to the python process, I got these: ########################## (gdb) c Continuing.

But I don't know why. May be related to the THREAD_LOCAL keywords : #if defined(__linux__) && defined(__NR_gettid) && defined(HAVE_JRAND48) #define DO_JRAND_MIX THREAD_LOCAL unsigned short jrand_seed[3]; #endif I try emesene with another gentoo box with same glibc and same e2fsprogs-libs, but with python-2.5, everything is fine. So this seems a bug in python-2.6. |

| I tried to reproduce the bug on 2.7 & 3.2 using libuuid version 2.17.2 and up to 100 threads but couldn't. Perhaps there was an issue with the uuid library function that he was using and threading? |

| This bug is still present in Gentoo. Find while trying to Steps to reproduce 1, install gentoo (testing on amd64 machine) 2, run commands in python from gtk import glade import uuid uuid.uuid4() It results in Segmentation fault. |

| After searching at Gentoo's bugzilla, I've found that there is probably problem in gentoo's libuuid library implementation: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317557 |

| Gentoo uses standard libuuid.so from util-linux without any custom patches. Izidor Matušov actually reproduced https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351897. |

| It's probably a libc buc, see http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12453 Basically, when libraries are dynamically loaded in an interleaved way, this can lead to TLS being returned uninitialized, hence leading to a segfault upon access. A fix has been committed really recently. If I'm correct, importing uuid first should do the trick. |

| neologix, that is right. Importing uuid before importing the other modules does not result in Seg Fault. Till the libc fix is available in Operating systems and as a result in CPython, this is probably the only way to go for. |

| > It's probably a libc bug The bug looks to be specific to the GNU libc. It exists in glibc-2.11.3 and glibc-2.12.2. I suppose that all versions of the GNU libc are affected. The bug has been fixed: http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=d26dfc60edc8 I don't know which versions will include the fix. I don't think that Python can workaround the bug, and so the issue should be fixed. |

| > Importing uuid before importing the other modules does not result in Seg Fault Alright. In that case, I'm closing this bug as invalid. Until distributions start shipping their glibc with this patch, the workaround is simply to import uuid first. |
