Subject: Re: [hobbit] Bug latest snapshot, hobbitd_client
Seems several of your Hobbit programs are dumping core. These three
cores are probably not from the same program, since they are so
different in size:
-rw------- 1 hobbit hobbit 5210112 Mar 19 00:23 tmp/core.21600
-rw------- 1 hobbit hobbit 4038656 Mar 19 00:27 tmp/core.21602
-rw------- 1 hobbit hobbit 49213440 Mar 19 00:31 tmp/core.21520
I'd suspect that .21520 core was from hobbitd, the timestamp matches
the log-file entry indicating that hobbitd has crashed.
Before doing anything else, please re-build Hobbit - and run a "make
clean" before doing the "make; make install". If the problem persists
after that, I would like to see the gdb backtrace from the different
programs that crash.
Each build from the snapshot is from scratch, so it will be clean from
the start.
I am not sure I should post my gdb back trace here, but it has been
dumping core for at least a week perhaps longer with different daily
snapshots. We use the same configs on a much older snapshot with no
problems. I am not sure of the date of the stable snapshot
The best way is to extract the version-numbers from each of the
source files like this:
$ strings ~hobbit/server/bin/hobbitd|grep \$Id:
$Id: hobbitd.c,v 1.279 2008/03/02 12:49:40 henrik Exp henrik $
$Id: hobbitd_buffer.c,v 1.10 2008/01/03 10:08:13 henrik Exp $
...lots more lines...
[hobbit at hobbit2 tmp]$ file core.21600 core.21602 core.21520
core.21600: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
SVR4-style, from 'hobbitd_client'
core.21602: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
SVR4-style, from 'hobbitd_client'
core.21520: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
SVR4-style, from 'hobbitd'
Sorry, the grep for $Id: is not in the strings output. I sent you the
backtrace in a separate e-mail.
Just as an FYI, I am still disappointed in tooltips not working
properly. It really isn't practical to vertically scroll the window
because descriptions or comments are making the window really wide. When
you have the column headings in view you cannot tell what host the alarm
is for because the hosts scrolled off the left side of the window.
