I've been using PosgreSQL and LinuxPPC for a longtime, and never seen
these kind of problems (I have a serious problem with 2.1.xxx kernels
whenever I try to run PostgreSQL, but this is a different story,
anyway).
I have a standard installation using the R4.2 CD from LinuxPPC org.
kernel 2.1.24
glibc-0.961212-1h
gcc version egcs-2.90.25 980302 (egcs-1.0.2 prerelease)
binutils-2.9.1-1a
However your explnation sounds reasonable, I will look into to see why
my system seems to have no problem.
