perl 5.6.1, compiled with Solaris memory management per the 5.6.1 Solaris read me
mon 0.99.2
Essentially, the perl process calls brk repeatedly until the segmentation fault occurs.
Also discovered that inet_aton, used by send_trap, returns 0 if it can't resolve the
target mon hostname. Results in sending the trap to localhost, which by definition
has the group/service defined, which results in another trap being sent, and so on.
Makes for a good system stress test. Lessons learned: 1) use only properly formed IPs
in trap alert definitions, or 2) check name resolution before sending a trap.
mon and life are good...
