Package: pound
Version: 2.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Was getting this line in my logs every time a request was made to pound.
It would close the connection immediately, without sending anything, and
report this.
Apr 4 15:57:35 elmer pound: MONITOR: worker exited on signal 11, restarting...
Not cool. Gdb said the segfaulting happened in trying to compile a regex
that didn't exist, while trying to figure out session foo (I don't track
sessions at all in my configuration).
Research pulled up this:
http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2006/2006-02/1139101111000#1139101111000
Unclear whether a new pound version has been released since then, but
the fix definitely has not been applied. I took Robert's suggestion at
the bottom, and got the attached patch. It fixes the segfaults.
