Howdy all,

I have submitted a bug but got no response so posting the problem here
(bug #7364):

Casting stable version 5.2.1 lease to configure phase looping in:

<snip>
checking whether getcwd is declared... yes
checking whether getcwd properly handles paths longer than PATH_MAX...

this continues on my box until /tmp (a tmpfs of 512MB) fills up with
the file coreutils.iw.

I am running amd64 (in 32 bit mode, so nothing exciting to see here)
with 2.6.7 kernel.

No idea what it is doing, but it is maxing the cpu... marked as
critical as this seems to be rather crutial spell (part of basesystem).

anyone have any ideas?

erics
