Hi all,
On mips(el), when doing multiple call to the syscall SYS_personality inorder to get the current personality (using 0xffffffff for the firstargument), on a 64-bit kernel, the second and subsequent syscalls arefailing. That works correctly with a 32-bit kernels and on otherarchitectures.
That's caused by mis-handling broken sign extensions, see also
http://bugs.debian.org/380531.

Nice to see there is already a patch! Thanks for your work. Do you knowwhen the patch will be merged upstream or in Debian? I really want tosee this bug fixed, as it breaks dchroot.
