The short answer: you need to explicitly set 
ulimit -n (open files)--even though it will look 
like it's set to 256 by default.  Any valid 
value (including 256) will resolve the problem.


Damien's comment about making sure --enable-64bit 
was passed to Tcl applied in my case as well--that fixes this problem.


But...:

The longer answer: the file limit code in 
nsd/fd.c is no longer valid, because of this:



setrlimit() now returns with errno set to EINVAL in places that histori-
cally succeeded.  It no longer accepts "rlim_cur = RLIM_INFINITY" for
RLIM_NOFILE.  Use "rlim_cur = min(OPEN_MAX, rlim_max)".

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man2/setrlimit.2.html



...this still applies, and the code needs to be 
updated accordingly.  Though if you make sure Tcl 
is 64-bit, you at least get an error message for 
it rather than a segmentation fault.

2008-01-10 Thread Damien O'Rourke 

I ran into the same problem (10.5 on Intel).
I recompiled tcl as 64 bit explicitly (didn't do it by default),  
recompiled aolserver and now it runs.


nsdci ... couldn't get those apps to compile properly though

And get the following on startup (though it runs OK) and when using  
ns_proxy to exec an external application


The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation  
functionality safely. You MUST exec().
Break on  
__THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__ 
() to debug.

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man2/setrlimit.2.html


And sure enough, AOLserver 4 sets rl.rlim_cur = 
rl.rlim_max at nsd/fd.c:128 when rl.rlim_max 
equals RLM_INFINITY, resulting in an invalid 
setrlimit() call.  Which would be obvious but for 
another problem: for some reason, the subsequent 
Ns_Log() call that passes in rl.rlim_max to 
report this error causes memory corruption that 
results in the segmentation fault (apparently 
because the fmt parameter to Ns_Log somehow gets 
mangled).  The AOLserver code there looks fine to 
me, so that may be a bug in OS X.
