Hi

I guess Luca or Burton is the best people to answer this but of
course any other person that know why this happen is welcome to answer. :)

I have recieved a bug report about ntop on sparc where the user
have problem to run it successfully. He get a Bus Error during
startup.

See http://bugs.debian.org/372625 for the available information.

The system is running on:

uname -a
Linux babbage 2.6.16-1-sparc64-smp #2 SMP Thu May 4 12:44:37 PDT 2006
sparc64 GNU/Linux
dpkg -s libc6 | grep ^Version
Version: 2.3.6-13

There is also a gdb run avaialble on the above url.

To me it looks like there is a problem with loading external
applications, but I do not know enough of the code to tell what
can be a problem on sparc and not on other architectures.

Regards,

// Ola
