Hi All

I just got an alert related to hobbitd_history crasing with core file in
server/tmp dir.

history log shows:

"2005-06-25 13:08:28 Worker process died with exit code 134, terminating"

Here is the gdb backtrace of the core file related to hobbitd_history:

gdb bin/hobbitd_history tmp/core
[...]
(gdb) bt
#0  0xff320190 in _libc_kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1  0xff2b6ce0 in abort () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#2  0x000164fc in sigsegv_handler (signum=11) at sig.c:57
#3  <signal handler called>

Thanks for the help

There's a known bug in 4.0.4, which causes a similar crash if a status
is disabled without providing a message explaining why it was disabled.

From your gdb trace I cannot tell if it's the same bug, but if you know
that a status was being disabled around the time of the crash, it seems
likely.

There's a patch for this at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/

Henrik

You are right on money. That is exactly what I did. Thanks for the
patch. I will post the findings.
