I see two issues:
- The fact that it thinks hook is NULL. That seems like a bug, and I'll
be honest; I don't know what's happening there.
Ah, okay, THAT is being caused by this code:
if (status != OK) {
if (did_message == 0) {
if ((hook = context_find("msg-hook")) != (char *)0)
advise(NULL, hook);
else
advise(NULL, "external hook (%s) did not work properly.", hook);
Calling context_find() AGAIN is resetting hook to NULL. Looks like that bug
has been in there since day 1. I verified that hook is being set to the
correct thing.
- So ... it looks like the child is failing with ... SIGTRAP? No, maybe that's
because I'm running it under the debugger. The hooks interface doesn't
use pidstatus(), so this needs a closer look to see what's going wrong.
And, I have to ask ... 1.3? You're not the only person still using that,
so I'm wondering if I did something wrong, or you just haven't seen a reason
to upgrade yet.
