Yes I am using threaded DNS - http://www.daimi.au dk/~jobo/dystopia/snippets/thread_dns_howto.txt - that one
I can easily reproduce the crash. I do not think that it is threaded DNS that is causing the problem, as I know lots of other muds that use Threaded DNS - none have this problem. -------Original Message------- From: Jason Gauthier Date: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 07:43:45 PM To: 'Ben'; [email protected] Subject: RE: Connect/Disconnect Problems Are you running some kind of threaded DNS code? Do you have a test mud? If not make one... then connect to it 5 times. Can you reproduce the problem? Reproducability is the key to fixability. If you are not running threaded code, and the mud crashes then the core that's dumped should be accurate. (check the time stamp) Anyway, whenever you can isolate the problem, do so. Bring up another mud to test with, (run via GDB if you like) and connect to it until it crashes. Examine core. If you're running threaded stuff, take it out.
