IIRC we tried to use APR for portability but we saw crashes in that piece
of code on certain platforms (Ubuntu comes to mind). We could try to fix
it the right way again.

Hi,
I've discovered that on some of our systems (perhaps only half a dozen out of 500 or so)
gmond crashes if the "override_ip"
configuration option is set. I've worked out that the problem is something to
do with this block of code...
#if 1
char* tmpstr = malloc( strlen(( override_ip != NULL ?
override_ip : override_hostname )) + strlen(
override_hostname ) + 1 );
strcpy (tmpstr, (char *)( override_ip != NULL ? override_ip :
override_hostname ) );
strcat (tmpstr, ":");
strcat (tmpstr, (char *) override_hostname);
cb->msg.Ganglia_value_msg_u.gstr.metric_id.host = tmpstr;
#endif
#if 0
cb->msg.Ganglia_value_msg_u.gstr.metric_id.host =
apr_pstrcat(gm_pool, (char *)( override_ip != NULL ? override_ip
: override_hostname ), ":", (char *) override_hostname, NULL);
#endif
What I'm trying to understand at the moment is why the "apr_pstrcat" version is "#if
0" commented out when it seems to work OK
during my testing.
Thanks,
Nick
