Excellent point - I should have checked for a return code, there are a few cases like this in Ganglia where the return codes are ignored. I've now added this check, and apr_pollset_create is returning APR_SUCCESS The seg fault only occurs after the first socket is added to the pollset, maybe there is another place where return codes are ignored? > > Just curious: Does Ganglia modify the pollset on a separate > thread than the poll (thus needing APR_POLLSET_THREADSAFE), > and if so why doesn't it already specify > APR_POLLSET_THREADSAFE *and* check the apr_pollset_create() > return code?

The seg fault occurs during the single threaded initialisation phase where sockets are created. However, I am taking advantage of Ganglia's new module API, and some of my modules start threads. One of them, which works on Linux and Solaris, uses libcurl from another thread, and I was getting crashes until I added APR_POLLSET_THREADSAFE. Now I want to run the same code under Cygwin. I have tested this with apr-1.2.7 under Cygwin now, it also has the same issue. _______________________________________________ This e-mail may contain information that is confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
