Follow-up Comment #2, bug #87507 (project xrootd): No need to provide a core file; I see the problem. When the packaging switched to shared libraries it becomes unclear what object is initialized at what point. That means that objects need to be initialized manually by the user of the object because static members may or may not have been initialized by what appears to be the static predecessor object. So, a fix will be coming that does not rely on the shared library dependency chain. Sort of sucks but that's what happens when you switch to a full shared library packaging. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?87507> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by LCG Savannah http://savannah.cern.ch/
