...invoked. Similarly, within the main thread, the `privsep_preauth()` function calls `monitor_child_preauth()`, which then calls `auth_log()`, and this also results in calls to `{openlog(), syslog(), closelog()}`. Since these functions are not async-signal-safe and they utilize a global lock named `syslog_lock`, this can lead to a recursive deadlock (AA lock). As a result, the pre-authentication process may end up in a zombie state and fail to exit. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
