gmond segfaults 50% of the time at startup. The random nature of it suggests to me that their is a race condition when the gmond threads startup. When I tried to strace or run gmond through gdb the problem wasn't apparant.. which is what led me to believe it's a threading problem that strace or gdb masks.
Any recommendations for accurately debugging gmond would be great; cause when running through strace and gdb I can't get it to segfault. FYI, I'm running gmond v2.2.2 on 48 nodes of those 16 of the nodes' gmond segfaulted at startup... Mike ps. here's an example: `which gmond` --debug_level=1 -i eth0 mcast_listen_thread() received metric data cpu_speed mcast_value() mcasting cpu_user value 2051 pre_process_node() remote_ip=192.168.0.28encoded 8 XDR bytespre_process_node() has saved the hostname pre_process_node() has set the timestamp pre_process_node() received a new node XDR data successfully sent set_metric_value() got metric key 11 set_metric_value() exec'd cpu_nice_func (11) Segmentation fault
