Summary: nsd running as a Win32 service crashes
Initial Comment:
After successfully installing nsd 3.4 as a Windows NT
service, trying to start nsd fails.
The reason why is as follows:
Ns_Main is being called twice, within the same process.
The first time it is called, argv[] contains the -s
argument, and the local variable "server" is set correctly.
The second time Ns_Main is called, argv[] contain -S
which causes a goto to be taken, leaving the local
variable "server" set to NULL.
After the goto label (contservice), "server" is
accessed a number of times. Since the goto label
skipped the initialization code path, the code bombs
with a NULL dereference.
I "fixed" this with the following code:
contservice:
+ if (server == NULL) {
+ server = nsServer;
+ }
Assuming that the first call to Ns_Main set nsServer
correctly, the second call to Ns_Main will proceed
without a problem, and respond to http requests.

While we have been able to get nsd working as documented as
a Win32 service using the Win32 installer icon, Win32 is no
longer supported for AOLserver.
