Below are our 5 most recent cores.
And the corresponding entry in the bb-network.log file where available. (No=
t all generate the entry in the log file)
It seems the problems occur in the C-ARES library which is used for
hostname lookups (via DNS).
Hobbit 4.2.0 uses version 1.2.1 of C-ARES; the current version is 1.5.3.
Unfortunately there's been a small change of the C-ARES API, so we cannot
just drop version 1.5.3 of the library into Hobbit 4.2.0. But it would
be nice to know if the problem is still there in the latest version.
If you want to try that, you can grab version 1.4.0 from
http://c-ares.haxx.se/c-ares-1.4.0.tar.gz and then change Hobbit's
build/Makefile.rules: The "ARESVER" setting should be "1.4.0".
Then "make clean; rm -rf bbnet/c-ares/* bbnet/libcares.*; make"
and copy bbnet/bbtest-net to ~hobbit/server/bin/
If you want to try out the 1.5.3 version, drop me a mail and I'll
send you the patches needed for this to compile with Hobbit 4.2.0.
