hi everyone
		i am in problem with shared library  support  Monta vista linux for
MPPC-860T now i decided to execute a statically linked file in and while
tracking the  execution i discovered that the  it   gives in fs/open.c file
in function
struct file *filp_open(const char * filename, int flags, int mode)
the dentry value is -2 so the  control moves to  cleanupfile
what is that mean and how can i rectify it.
