This is one of several lurking intermittent problems that are very hard to pin down - it would be much easier if we could reproduce "at home", and/or they happened every run. I took a flyer at the one you mention (gerrit 23851) which I'm far from convinced does anything about the underlying problem, it just avoids walking through the pointer if the pointer is not valid - and it may not be the only instance. I'm thinking it's possible to be called in a bad context where something is not alive any longer. In the last current comment, Aleksey suggested the same theory, also without having proof - that maybe a request is responded to so slowly it is canceled and then the response comes in and the callback is invoked. > > Second > > After my reverify this morning, a whole slew of failures showed up that were > not reported on the previous build of the exact same patch.

Linux Foundation have transitioned us to a different infrastructure for the builders and it's having some teething pains. They *are* working on it, but the current state is quite frustrating. We are pestering them on a regular basis. Sorry, meant to say working closely with. :) _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev
