Good question, isn't it? I am trying to track a segfault in the auth_unix callbacks with SASL 2.1.2 [1], but after that I will try to do a once-over the entire master flow, with and without the child pid tracking patches. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=145766 "auth_unix" is part of the authorization, not part of libsasl. Regardless, this code happens after the service has told the master it's unavailable, so a crash here wouldn't cause the master's count to get off. > We don't have this problem on any of our servers. Do you have preforking enabled? If you do (and if I did undertand the issue correctly), start kill -9'ing service processes, and it should be possible to duplicate the bug. I will try that just now, in fact. Sure, if you intentionally kill processes that are waiting for connections this happens. I understand this. But if I did that, master would log messages that the processes were dying incorrectly ("signaled to death by 9"). Larry
