I was attempting to put together a post like this yesterday when my cable modem went out, and fortunately the cable didn't get restored at the promised time so I got a good night's sleep.
Here is some basic information: Reading symbols from /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1...done. #0 0x80767be in core_input_filter (f=0x81243b8, b=0x8139798, mode=AP_MODE_READBYTES, block=APR_BLOCK_READ, readbytes=54) at core.c:3144 3144 rv = apr_bucket_read(e, &str, &len, block); (gdb) bt #0 0x80767be in core_input_filter (f=0x81243b8, b=0x8139798, mode=AP_MODE_READBYTES, block=APR_BLOCK_READ, readbytes=54) at core.c:3144 #1 0x806f534 in ap_get_brigade (next=0x81243b8, bb=0x8139798, mode=AP_MODE_READBYTES, block=APR_BLOCK_READ, readbytes=54) at util_filter.c:418 #2 0x805ecce in ap_http_filter (f=0x813a318, b=0x8139798, mode=AP_MODE_READBYTES, block=APR_BLOCK_READ, readbytes=54) at http_protocol.c:653 #3 0x806f534 in ap_get_brigade (next=0x813a318, bb=0x8139798, mode=AP_MODE_READBYTES, block=APR_BLOCK_READ, readbytes=8192) at util_filter.c:418 #4 0x8076541 in net_time_filter (f=0x81397b8, b=0x8139798, mode=AP_MODE_READBYTES, block=APR_BLOCK_READ, readbytes=8192) at core.c:3023 #5 0x806f534 in ap_get_brigade (next=0x81397b8, bb=0x8139798, mode=AP_MODE_READBYTES, block=APR_BLOCK_READ, readbytes=8192) at util_filter.c:418 #6 0x8060015 in ap_get_client_block (r=0x8139048, buffer=0xbfbfd774 (junk), bufsiz=8192) at http_protocol.c:1490 #7 0x281bd850 in cgi_handler (r=0x8139048) at mod_cgi.c:642 #8 0x8064d57 in ap_run_handler (r=0x8139048) at config.c:185 #9 0x80652f3 in ap_invoke_handler (r=0x8139048) at config.c:359 #10 0x806232c in ap_process_request (r=0x8139048) at http_request.c:290 #11 0x805dd5b in ap_process_http_connection (c=0x8124120) at http_core.c:287 #12 0x806d643 in ap_run_process_connection (c=0x8124120) at connection.c:84 #13 0x806d958 in ap_process_connection (c=0x8124120, csd=0x8124048) at connection.c:231 #14 0x8063854 in child_main (child_num_arg=78) at prefork.c:722 #15 0x80639ae in make_child (s=0x809a8d8, slot=78) at prefork.c:812 #16 0x8063bdd in perform_idle_server_maintenance (p=0x8099010) at prefork.c:953 #17 0x8063f56 in ap_mpm_run (_pconf=0x8099010, plog=0x80bf010, s=0x809a8d8) at prefork.c:1126 #18 0x8069676 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfbffb18) at main.c:498 #19 0x805d965 in _start () (gdb) We're trying to read from a sentinel bucket: (gdb) p *ctx $1 = {b = 0x81243f0} (gdb) p e $2 = (apr_bucket *) 0x81243f4 The client socket is all fubar. (gdb) p *net $4 = {client_socket = 0x81243f4, c = 0x81243f4, out_ctx = 0x2f602079, in_ctx = 0x8124110} (gdb) p *net->client_socket $5 = {cntxt = 0x81243f4, socketdes = 135414772, type = 794828921, local_addr = 0x8124110, remote_addr = 0x81243f0, timeout = 2885340802283391532, local_port_unknown = 0, local_interface_unknown = 554, netmask = 554, inherit = 1414745936, head = 0x48202f20, num_saved_buffers = 793793620} (Those last two fields are from a debug patch. Like the rest of the fields, they are bogus.) In fact, the entire net structure is foobar. Look at the stuff it supposedly points to besides client_socket: (gdb) p *net $6 = {client_socket = 0x81243f4, c = 0x81243f4, out_ctx = 0x2f602079, in_ctx = 0x8124110} (gdb) p *net->c $7 = {pool = 0x81243f4, base_server = 0x81243f4, vhost_lookup_data = 0x2f602079, local_addr = 0x8124110, remote_addr = 0x81243f0, remote_ip = 0x280aca2c (junk), remote_logname = 0x0, aborted = 0, keepalive = 1, double_reverse = 1, keepalives = 554, local_ip = 0x54534f50 <Address 0x54534f50 out of bounds>, local_host = 0x48202f20 <Address 0x48202f20 out of bounds>, id = 793793620, conn_config = 0xd302e31, notes = 0x6363410a, input_filters = 0x3a747065, output_filters = 0x616d6920, sbh = 0x672f6567} (gdb) p *net->out_ctx Cannot access memory at address 0x2f602079. (gdb) p *net->in_ctx $8 = {b = 0x0} That's all I can dig out at the moment. I need to know more about how net is supposed to be set up before I know which direction to go in the dump. ------------- Jeff Trawick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | PGP public key at web site: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/9289/ Born in Roswell... married an alien...
