Hi Dinesh,

- Regarding NTLM server, I've been using a Windows Server here at work, I
couldn't find a public test server yet... Does someone know any public ntlm
webservers? Damitha?

- Regarding the segfault it is not somethig specific to ntlm... Actually
I've found the bug by mistake, because I forgot to execute an ldconfig
command after compiling libntlm and Axis couldn't find the library on
runtime, which caused it to segfault...

The bug seems to be that, under certain error conditions axis tries to
release dep_engine twice... As I explained earlier, conf has a reference to
dep_engine and vice versa, and dep engine tries to be released twice...

To reproduce the segfault

- Build the samples.
- go to $AXIS2C_HOME/lib and move/delete one of the libraries (i.e.
libaxis2_http_sender.so.0.7.0)
- Run the sample (i.e. echo) It will segfault.

This segfault could be avoided easily just by commenting conf.c lines 352
to line 355... In that case rebuild axis, remove the library again, and the
server will show an error message (which it is expected because there is a
library missing) but it won't segfault.

This segfault concerns me a bit because it can emerge on other error
conditions...

Shall I create an issue and attach a patch for this?


Thanks
