I had been using cvsup successfully to sync with the XFree86 CVS tree, but after returning from vacation it has started to fail with what appears to be an internal error in the client.
*** *** runtime error: *** Segmentation violation - possible attempt to dereference NIL0 *** use option @M3stackdump to get a stack trace Aborted I will include the stackdump below and my config file, I didn't see anything in the stackdump that meant anything to me. I did update my cvsup client to the latest and I checked the cvsup web site looking for possible causes/solutions. The only thing I found was if you DNS could not reverse map your ip address you could get a similar failure, but my DNS server can do the reverse mapping fine. So I'm a bit perplexed, anybody have a suggestion as to what may be the problem. Like I said, this has all been working fine previously. The only thing I can think of is that my host machine did have some libraries updated but cvsup is statically linked so I don't think that could explain the sudden failure. $ cvsup @M3stackdump cvsup.xfree86 *** *** runtime error: *** Segmentation violation - possible attempt to dereference NIL0 *** ------------------------- STACK DUMP --------------------------- ----PC---- ----SP---- 0x80c9c18 0xbfffe130 Crash + 0x58 in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/m3core/src/runtime/common/RTProcess.m3 0x80c8d6f 0xbfffe144 EndError + 0x3f in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/m3core/src/runtime/common/RTMisc.m3 0x80c8b74 0xbfffe168 FatalErrorI + 0x34 in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/m3core/src/runtime/common/RTMisc.m3 0x80cd46a 0xbfffe17c SegV + 0x2a in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/m3core/src/runtime/LINUXLIBC6/RTSignal.m3 0x80eafb8 0xbfffe4f0 0x8106e0c 0xbfffe538 0x810694b 0xbfffe5fc 0x8106f36 0xbfffe628 0x8101ef9 0xbfffe634 0x810694b 0xbfffe6f8 0x8101772 0xbfffe758 0x8101dff 0xbfffe774 0x811b2d7 0xbfffe78c 0x8102c9d 0xbfffe7e4 0x810285c 0xbfffe83c 0x80a7e8e 0xbfffea0c CanGet + 0x16e in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/libm3/src/uid/POSIX/MachineIDPosix.m3 0x80a7238 0xbfffea28 Init + 0x58 in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/libm3/src/uid/Common/TimeStamp.m3 0x80a73b1 0xbfffea94 New + 0x81 in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/libm3/src/uid/Common/TimeStamp.m3 0x80a69a1 0xbfffead0 RandomSeed + 0x41 in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/libm3/src/random/Common/Random.m3 0x80a6876 0xbfffeae4 Init + 0x46 in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/libm3/src/random/Common/Random.m3 0x8066467 0xbfffeb1c New + 0x87 in /usr/local/src/cvsup/cvsup-snap-16.1d/client/src/BackoffTimer.m3 0x806895b 0xbffff0bc 0x80c869f 0xbffff0d4 RunMainBodies + 0x6f in /usr/local/src/m3/pm3-1.1.15/libs/m3core/src/runtime/common/RTLinker.m3 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ EXCEPTION HANDLER STACK --------------------- 0xbfffe85c RAISES {} 0xbfffea20 RAISES {} 0xbfffea60 LOCK mutex = 0x81842ec 0xbfffea6c RAISES {} 0xbfffeac8 RAISES {} 0xbfffec34 TRY-FINALLY proc = 0x8068d73 frame = 0xbffff0bc 0xbfffecfc TRY-EXCEPT {Main.Error} 0xbfffee68 TRY-EXCEPT {Thread.Alerted} ---------------------------------------------------------------- Aborted Here is my cvsup config file: *default release=cvs host=anoncvs.xfree86.org base=/home/boston/jdennis/.cvsup *default prefix=/home/boston/jdennis/src/xfree86 delete use-rel-suffix *default compress *default tag=. xc-all doctools-all contrib-all xtest-all utils-all -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
