DM,

v3.16c is sefaulting on me. I'm just recompiled without the RELEASE=1 to get the debug.exe. What info do you need?

syslog error is : segfault at 6262732f ip b6d07733 sp b12dcfa0 error 4 in libc-2.21.so[b6cc2000+1a1000]

crash log shows : End of preexisting log entry (possible crash)

A backtrace might be helpful. Here are instructions on how to get one: http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:gdb

OK, even after making the changes to sysctl, sbbs is not dumping a core. ulimit is set to unlimited. I did get a backtrace in gdb, but according to your wiki you only want the output "if (and only if) the last line..." has a certain look. I posted a 'bt full' to pastbin earlier.

Anyway, I started up v3.17a and I am able to access the message bases without
a segfault. The only issue I have noticed with v3.17a is the ssh service does not start.

Thanks. I can't even access the message bases now without sbbs segfaulting. I'll take a look at you how-to. Here is a paste bin from gbd.

Looks like you have a recursion issue. You have a Baja module which is displaying a file which has an @-code which executes a Baja modules which displays an @-code which executes JavaScript which display a menu with an @-code which executes a Baja module... etc.

Do you see the problem? At the very least, you will eventually run out of space for the call stack, but you're like to have other weird side effects too.

You need to sort out your custom mods and make them not infinitely-recursive.

in another software package i work with (not BBS oriented), we have to use

thread apply all bt full

because it is a multi-threaded app... is synchronet is multi-threaded, this may
be needed to gather the necessary information from all threads... i'm sure that
digital man or deuce will clarify this if needed ;)

Ah.. ok. Yeah, I'll have to go through things and see what I did. It's been a couple of years since I messed with this. Only recently has life started settling down (google "Abigail Mounce") to where I have some free time to mess old hobby stuff. I'll probably just start from scratch and re-introduce
one mod at a time. Thanks for taking a look!

Welcome to my world. Well, not on the same version (I'm still on 3.16b), but I can't get the damn thing to leave a stack trace for me for the life of me. I've got everything else leaving traces that core dumps on this OBSD machine except for that. It's enough to drive a person batty.

Programs that call setuid() often require special magic to get cores from since they may have some secret root stuff in the image.

On FreeBSD, you need to do a ``sysctl kern.sugid_coredump=1'' to get them to dump. I have that in my /etc/sysctl.conf.

Quite likely there's something similar for OpenBSD and Linux too.

I know there was a sysctl.conf toggling that I did to get most of the coredumps working, but it hasn't worked for sbbs yet (almost certainly due to the setuid() bits you're referencing).
I'll look it up and see if I can't find something about an option that'll let me do that. Much appreciated!
