  • An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.

    Description:


    This update for FUSE provides the following fix:

    In fuse_session_loop_mt() don't pause when exiting the
    worker threads. The pause() was added in 2.2.1 to prevent
    a segmentation fault on pthread_cancel() on an exited,
    detached thread. Now that worker threads are no longer
    detached, pthread_cancel() should work fine even after the
    thread exited.
