Public bug reported:

Source package / Package:

python2.7_2.7.11-7ubuntu1

System:

Description:    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release:        16.04


This is a bug report originating from the findings documented in

https://github.com/zopefoundation/Zope/issues/56


The expected behaviour is this:
- Upon installing Zope2 in a virtualenv a default instance should work with no 
issues.

What happens instead:
- The freshly installed Zope instance causes Python to SegFault after only a 
few requests.

But Python should never SegFault.


The following program produces the error:


#!/bin/bash
set -e

# Call this testing script with an argument "setup" for the first time
# to build the testing case
#
# After that, the script only performs the test as described below.
#
# Requirements: apt-get install virtualenv python2.7-dbg
#
# This script needs internet access when running.

# The python version to test:
python=/usr/bin/python2.7-dbg

# This part builds the testing environment

if [ "$1" == "setup" ] ; then
    # Virtual environment with the chosen python 
    virtualenv --python ${python} --no-site-packages zope-virtualenv
    cd zope-virtualenv
    # Basic Zope installation
    ./bin/easy_install -i http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.13.24 Zope2
    # Simplest possible Zope instance
    ./bin/mkzopeinstance --dir instance --user admin:admin
    cd ..
fi

# THE TEST

# Run Zope instance in the background
zope-virtualenv/instance/bin/runzope &

# Give Zope some time to start up
sleep 3

# Call a few management URLs, nothing too fancy...
urls="
http://admin:admin@localhost:8080/Control_Panel/manage_main
http://admin:admin@localhost:8080/Control_Panel/Database/main/manage_main

"

while true ; do
    for url in ${urls} ; do 
        echo ${url}
        curl -s $url -o /dev/null
    done
done

# This test fails after about 10 requests with
# Fatal Python error: ../Objects/descrobject.c:10 object at 0x??? has negative
