:Hello,
:I had a nasty situation today. After trying to log to the machine, I saw:
:----
:| login: glenda
:| ld-elf.so.1: assert failed: /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/i386/reloc.c:233
:| login:
:----
:Same situation with su(1):
:----
:| glenda@insomniac:~$ su -
:| ld-elf.so.1: assert failed: /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/i386/reloc.c:233
:| Abort trap
:----
:'Nice' things are:
:- I didn't change _anything_ in the system (it worked in one moment,
:stopped 2-3 minutes later);
:- I haven't build world anytime, I'm just using 1.0A-RELEASE installed
: from CD.;
:- I don't have even source, just /usr/src/sys;
:- after reboot it works;
:- but bash don't want to start (nothing has changed in bash package).
:
:Ideas?

Hmm. Well, that sort of error is usually indicative of memory
corruption. The question is: is it memory corruption due to a kernel
bug or memory corruption due to a hardware issue in the machine?
It might help if you described your machine. It might also be a good
idea to build and install a new world and kernel as a number of bugs have
been fixed since the release.
I don't know why your bash isn't starting, you'd have to supply more
information.
