Hi Alex,
I'm using Kannel 1.4.3, sorry for not mentioning this before.
Do you know by chance the context of where the error appeared in smsbox? I
would like to understand the possible ways we can trigger the “assert != null”
to fail.
Back-tracking from the error I find the following places the error could have
come from:
~/tmp/kannel$ find . -name "*.c" -exec grep -iH octstr_convert_range {} \;
./gateway-1.4.3/gw/xml_shared.c: octstr_convert_range(charset, 0,
octstr_len(charset), toupper);
./gateway-1.4.3/gw/urltrans.c: octstr_convert_range(tmp, 0,
octstr_len(tmp), tolower);
./gateway-1.4.3/gw/urltrans.c: octstr_convert_range(os, 0,
octstr_len(os), tolower);
./gateway-1.4.3/gw/urltrans.c: octstr_convert_range(data, 0,
octstr_len(data), tolower);
./gateway-1.4.3/gw/wap_push_pap_compiler.c: octstr_convert_range(nameos, 0,
octstr_len(nameos), tolower);
./gateway-1.4.3/gw/wap_push_pap_compiler.c: octstr_convert_range(*address,
0, octstr_len(*address), tolower);
./gateway-1.4.3/gw/wml_compiler.c: octstr_convert_range(escape, 0,
octstr_len(escape), tolower);
./gateway-1.4.3/gwlib/octstr.c:void octstr_convert_range(Octstr *ostr, long
pos, long len,
./gateway-1.4.3/gwlib/octstr.c: octstr_convert_range(ostr, 0, ostr->len,
make_printable);
To me they all seem to point to an URL being bad or similar in a PAP request.
However I have not changed anything in my config and underlaying APP for months.
I also wonder about the spool directory. Why does Kannel continue to crash
unless we clean the spool directory?
Why are some messages left in the spool directory? The normal behaviour for
in-/out-bound messages is for them to be stored in the spool directory and then
deleted once they have been acknowledged to be received. So the question then
becomes; What’s so “special” with the messages that remains in the spool
directory?
Looking at the logs from today I find that we end keeping the message with ID
d4e378df-8fa7-4d7b-83a3-bc28dfc44b12 in the spool directory and not the message
with ID a45dd024-55dc-46f8-aefa-15d0bb321a73.
I cannot see any difference in the log file on why the first one is stored and
the second isn’t.

Thanks a lot.
