Summary: crash with libgcrypt
Initial Comment:
Hi,
I am using libssh2-1.2 to get a shell through ssh connections and the program
often crashes when libssh2-1.2 is using libgcrypt (there is a crash every few
hours). The program is linked to libgcrypt.so.11 when it fails. The error
message is always the same when it aborts:
programname: ath.c:193: _gcry_ath_mutex_lock: Assertion `*lock ==
((ath_mutex_t) 0)' failed.
I currently have this problem on a Debian Lenny-5.03-amd64 system. I have only
installed "debian/stable" packages on my system except those which are in
"debian/testing":
libgcrypt11 1.4.4-4
libgpg-error0 1.6-1
libssh2-1 1.2-1
libssh2-1-dbg 1.2-1
libssh2-1-dev 1.2-1
I recompiled libssh2-1.2 on other boxes using OpenSSL for crypto (using
libcrypto.so.6) and there was no crash. Unfortunately the debian version of
libssh2-1.2 is compiled against the libgcrypt implementation of crypto.
I have reproduced this problem on multiple linux boxes (i686 and x86-64).
I don't know if it's a problem in libssh2 or in libcrypto, but I hope these two
backtraces below will help to fix it. Unfortunately there is no libgcrypt11-dbg
package available for that version of libgcrypt, so the backtrace is incomplete.
Thanks
