I've got an issue with an application I've developed that uses a

combination of threads (pthreads) and fork()'d processes.

 

In short, my parent process has a handful of threads that run to

perform various tasks; when a new request comes into the parent

process, it forks off a new child to handle the request; one of the

first things the child does is initiate a library that has a date

class that calls tzset().

 

My parent process also logs the requests from a thread, which writes

the date to the log using localtime_r(), which also calls tzset().

 

The problem, is that one of out every x child processes fork()'d

simply hangs at a lock in tzset() when the library is initialized.

 

I've reproduced this by creating a very simple test program, that

simply calls tzset() over and over from a thread, while it forks, and

then calls tzset() in the child process- I can get it to hang almost

immediately.

 

and this only seems to happen on my Linux machines (CentO/S 5.5)- my

FreeBSD (8.0) runs my test program file, without any locks.

 

So my question is: if I fork() while tzset() is holding a lock in the

parent process, will the lock get copied to the child process locked?

Is this a known result? is

here a way around this?

 

Test program, which is just a super simple version of what I see in my

real app, and gdb output below, which is when I attached to a child

process that had hung.
