[ast-users] segfault in child shell--debugging steps?

2013-01-02 Thread Aaron Davies
i've been seeing a fairly consistent segfault in ksh93u when running as a 
background child process of another ksh93u instance. i haven't had the time to 
do a full investigation yet, but it seems to be crashing inside the memory 
manager.

i'm planning on running the script in question under valgrind to verify exactly 
what's going wrong, and then submit the logs here.

is this a reasonable approach? anything else i should do?

that would be a good approach
if the script is small enough you could post that too
