I agree with Julian. There should be an answer, if the letter does not reach the list. I also like when it is not required to subscribe to send mails. > This part: > > 11868 1 fossil write(0x5, 0x40b16808, 0x200) = 512, 1085368328 > > > "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\M-/\M^H\M-66\0\0\0\0\0\0\^B\0\0\0\^D\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0" > 11868 1 fossil SIGBUS SIG_DFL > > As best as i can tell that's your OS segfaulting, not fossil.

I don't think the write is related to the SIGBUS. If it is similar to 'strace', the "= 512" means that the syscall succeeded and returned 512. > Other googling suggests that a cast in one part of the code can cause > corruption which first shows up as a sigbus further downstream. Could you > run it through valgrind? That would help us rule out memory corruption. I don't think valgrind runs on sparc. gdb will catch the sigbus perfectly. It should be quite tricky C code for a C compiler to generate bad-aligned accesses for a given platform. I'd like to know where is that bad access; I've not checked, but I'd imagine fossil has no tricky C code.
