linux emulation problems

[Mark Davies <mark%ecs.vuw.ac.nz@localhost>]

I've been trying out the linux emulation in current (i386) and while many 
things that wouldn't work previously now do I'm stricking two significant 
problems:

Matlab (which someone reported running for them on amd64) runs for a random 
but short period of time then crashes.

eclipse runs for a random but short period of time then either crashes or 
hangs.  At the moment mostly hangs.  The same eclipse runs fine on 5.1 with 
suse100 packages.  When it hangs ktruss shows that its looping doing:

 26234   2354 eclipse  gettimeofday(0xb67ff020, 0) = 0
 26234   2354 eclipse  gettimeofday(0xb67fef80, 0) = 0
 26234   2354 eclipse  clock_gettime(0, 0xb67fef5c) = 0
 26234   2354 eclipse  futex(0xa6c98f74, 0x80, 0x1, 0xb67fef5c, 0x1, 
0xb67ff020) Err#60 ETIMEDOUT
 26234   2354 eclipse  futex(0xb67ff068, 0x81, 0x1, 0xb67ff068, 0xb6a09428, 
0xb67ff0d8) = 1
 26234   2354 eclipse  gettimeofday(0xb67ff020, 0) = 0
 26234   2354 eclipse  gettimeofday(0xb67fef80, 0) = 0
 26234   2354 eclipse  clock_gettime(0, 0xb67fef5c) = 0
 26234   2354 eclipse  futex(0xa6c98f74, 0x80, 0x1, 0xb67fef5c, 0x1, 
0xb67ff020) Err#60 ETIMEDOUT
 26234   2354 eclipse  futex(0xb67ff068, 0x81, 0x1, 0xb67ff068, 0xb6a09428, 
0xb67ff0d8) = 1


Any suggestions?

cheers
