Why does set_qos() crash in /lib/libc.so?
Note: Applies to RTI Connext 4.x and above and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
If DDS_DomainParticipantFactory_set_qos() crashes, the stack trace begins with
free () from /lib/libc.so.6
and if you're making any calls to mlockall(), explicitly or implicitly, you may be running into a known bug in glibc on Linux.
