Hi! I've narrowed down my problem and it's definitely a problem with TLS.
I've setup a openvz server with debian 6.0 and installed: aolserver 4.5 from CVS Head ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver_4.5.1 --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/ --enable-threads tls from CVS Head (1.6.3) ./configure --enable-64bit --enable-threads && make && make install tcl 8.5.12 ./configure --enable-threads --enable-64bit && make && make install I then took base.tcl and added this section: ns_section "ns/server/server1/tcl" ns_param autoclose "on" ns_param debug "false" ns_param library "/web/tmp/tcl" In /web/tmp/tcl I dropped only one file with one line: package require tls I start aolserver with: gdb --args ./bin/nsd -ft base.tcl -u nsadmin Sometimes it crashes right after startup, but it always crashes after a few minutes, when I hammer the server with siege -c 20 -b http://myserver/ The backtrace is always the same (this is from a build with debugging symbols enabled): #0 0x00007ffff76ec29e in TclpAlloc (reqSize=40) at /root/sourcen/tcl8.5.12/unix/../generic/tclThreadAlloc.c:337 #1 0x00007ffff7621179 in Tcl_Alloc (size=40) at /root/sourcen/tcl8.5.12/unix/../generic/tclCkalloc.c:1054 #2 0x00007ffff7693a89 in AllocStringEntry (tablePtr=0x7fffd84e4580, keyPtr=0x7ffff2f17128) at /root/sourcen/tcl8.5.12/unix/../generic/tclHash.c:852 #3 0x00007ffff76932aa in CreateHashEntry (tablePtr=0x7fffd84e4580, key=0x7ffff2f17128 "ciphers", newPtr=0x7ffff136e8fc) at /root/sourcen/tcl8.5.12/unix/../generic/tclHash.c:361 #4 0x00007ffff7616f69 in Tcl_CreateObjCommand (interp=0x7fffd19c8340, cmdName=0x7ffff2f17123 "tls::ciphers", proc=0x7ffff2f14300 <CiphersObjCmd>, clientData=0x0, deleteProc=0) at /root/sourcen/tcl8.5.12/unix/../generic/tclBasic.c:2024 #5 0x00007ffff2f12727 in Tls_Init () from /usr/local/lib/tls1.6.3/libtls1.6.3.so #6 0x00007ffff76b97d6 in Tcl_LoadObjCmd (dummy=0x0, interp=0x7fffd19c8340, objc=3, objv=0x7fffee9ea960) at /root/sourcen/tcl8.5.12/unix/../generic/tclLoad.c:436 #7 0x00007ffff761928f in TclEvalObjvInternal (interp=0x7fffd19c8340, objc=3, objv=0x7fffee9ea960, command=0x7fffd4f114d0 "::tcl::_load /usr/local/lib/tls1.6.3/libtls1.6.3.so Tls", length=55, flags=0) at /root/sourcen/tcl8.5.12/unix/../generic/tclBasic.c:3706 #8 0x00007ffff761a66a in TclEvalEx (interp=0x7fffd19c8340, script=0x7fffd4f114d0 "::tcl::_load /usr/local/lib/tls1.6.3/libtls1.6.3.so Tls", numBytes=55, flags=262144, line=1, clNextOuter=0x0, outerScript=0x7fffd4f114d0 "::tcl::_load /usr/local/lib/tls1.6.3/libtls1.6.3.so Tls") at /root/sourcen/tcl8.5.12/unix/../generic/tclBasic.c:4405 #9 0x00007ffff7619ac8 in Tcl_EvalEx (interp=0x7fffd19c8340, script=0x7fffd4f114d0 "::tcl::_load /usr/local/lib/tls1.6.3/libtls1.6.3.so Tls", numBytes=55, flags=262144) at /root/sourcen/tcl8.5.12/unix/../generic/tclBasic.c:4062 This are the lines from the backtrace: tclThreadAlloc.c:337: cachePtr->buckets[bucket].firstPtr = blockPtr->nextBlock; tclCkalloc.c:1054 result = TclpAlloc(size); tclHash.c:852 hPtr = (Tcl_HashEntry *) ckalloc(sizeof(Tcl_HashEntry) + allocsize - sizeof(hPtr->key)); If someone wants to try it one the test server I can easily provide an ssh login.
