I am developing a web application, and have started encountering a new
error (taken from the error_log)...
[Sun Apr 28 08:50:40 2002] [error] (22)Invalid argument: getsockname
[Sun Apr 28 08:50:40 2002] [notice] child pid 493 exit signal Bus error
(10)
[Sun Apr 28 08:50:40 2002] [notice] child pid 482 exit signal Bus error
(10)
If I run the script from the command line I get the same, cryptic "Bus
error" on the terminal. A little bit of research reveals that the error
is probably because Perl tried to clear a memory pointer that doesn't
exist any more. When I delve into the module I am using for my scripts,
that indeed seems to be the case... the croaking seems to happen when
the module tries to destroy an existing hash... specifically at...
sub DESTROY {
my $self = tied(%{$_[0]});
delete $ITERATORS{$self};
if (exists $OWNER{$self}) {
mapscriptc::delete_mapObj($self);
delete $OWNER{$self};
}
}
In any case, here are my questions --
1. am I right about my assumption about failure to clear a memory
pointer?
2. that the above error is new to me means that this is a problem
specific to the module I am using, and not some new gremlin I have
exposed in my iBook or the "Perl on MacOS X" implementation?
Many tia,
