Look for aplog_error() lines followed by NOTREACHED -- there's at least one in magic_process() which is wrong. It is definately reached, aplog_error doesn't abort anything. What's a "BOINK" error? A bit more informative would be good. It should use the spawn functionality rather than fork()/exec() ... because it has potential resource leaks as it is right now. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
