Hi,
One thread of my program should read a directory listing from an ftp
server. I do this in blocks of size 4096 bytes. On little directories it
will do the job (in most cases) but on large directories I get a "Bad
address" on the read call (fread does not return in this case). Sometimes
the read call does only read 1024 bytes instead of 4096. Maybe there is a
bug in the pthreads library (I use 1.60beta3 with linux-1.2.13). I guess
it has to do with a signal (maybe from the pthread scheduler) interrupting
the read call.
Can somebody help me to solve this problem?!
Ronald.
