Bug#343528: Acknowledgement (getmail4 crashes with segfault randomly when connecting to server [NOW WITH ATTACHMENT])

2005-12-17 Thread Rob Loos

Hi Fredrik,

Here soms answers:
1) the system is not using PAX currently, so no pax errors.
2) I ran against python 2.4.1, error remains
3) rebooted machine with sysctl tweakable kernel.
As the error seldom appears directly after a boot, I am currently unable 
to reproduce.

It may take weeks, but the error will return. Then I will report.

4) I'd like to try against python 2.4.2 because it fixes next possible 
related errors:
   - Patch #1297028: fix segfault if call type on MultibyteCodec, 
MultibyteStreamReader, or MultibyteStreamWriter.
   - Bug #110: The readline module could segfault if hook functions 
were set in a different thread than that which called readline.


But I can't because not available yet on sarge. Damn.

Rob

Hi,

Thanks for your additional info. I will try to setup a grsec enabled
kernel and try and see if I can find something. I did some searches and
it sure looks like it's quite common problem. Let me know if the error
returns and what you can get out of it.

Thanks,
