Description Heinrich Mislik 2004-02-18 04:25:44 UTC 
AIX has a function msleep in libc. 

#include <sys/mman.h>

     int msleep (Sem)
     msemaphore * Sem;
     Description

     The msleep subroutine puts a calling process to sleep when a
     semaphore is busy.

Samba also names a function msleep. This does not affect samba itself, but other
applications linked with libsmbclient might use  the wrong "msleep". Symptom is
"timeout connecting to ..." when connecting to remote servers, because AIX
msleep does not sleep but fails immediatly with EFAULT.

msleep should be renamed.

I have a patch to rename this to smb_msleep()
Comment 2 Tim Potter 2004-02-20 14:42:40 UTC 
I've checked in a patch to rename msleep() to smb_msleep().

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
