Hello,

My libmap.conf contains currently: 

libpthread.so.1 libc_r.so.5
libpthread.so   libc_r.so

which is how I understood the UPDATING entry. Without these entries or
when mapping libc_r to libpthread, OpenGL applications will core dump.

I understand that mentioning "libGLcore + NVidia" makes one think about
the pthread issues, but I don't think that this is the case here. 

I did the linking of the same application again a few minutes ago, and
it worked. The messages I do remember did say something that the
libGLcore.so was invalid. I did not reinstall the nvidia drivers after
the crash because everything worked, so I really cannot see what could
have happened. 
Perhaps some stupid bit flipped at the wrong place and time, and
triggered everything else (linking triggered hard disk activity, hard
disk activity and xawtv triggered panic, panic happened at bad moment so
the bremfree thing happened. That is currently my "explanation" :/)

Andreas
