Description Simon Detheridge 2005-03-09 06:07:10 UTC
nmbd is crashing with both samba 3.0.11, and samba 3.0.12pre1. I'm not sure what
I'm doing to cause this, as it seems to crash after a period of time... Normally
a few minutes after being started.

Here is that the logfile spits out when it crashes: (I will attach the full
310kb level-10 logfile shortly)

-----------------------------------------------

I tried to generate a backtrace, but it doesn't look very useful. I did try and
compile with '-g' but I can only see one function name about 680 levels deep. I
know Gentoo strips binaries by default, so that could have something to do with
it... I did try and make it not strip samba...

Here is the end of it:

The operating system is Gentoo linux, but I haven't used any custom cflags
(except for -g) before you ask. ;-)

Created attachment 1020 [details]
log.nmbd at level 10

This is the nmbd log file from the session that crashed, created at log level
10.
Comment 2 Jeremy Allison 2005-03-09 13:12:27 UTC
We really need a good backtrace generated with gcc -g. Can you fix gentoo
to do that ?
Jeremy.
Comment 3 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2005-03-09 13:34:01 UTC
any chance this is related to the nmblob.c bug reported in bug 2147 ?
Comment 4 Simon Detheridge 2005-03-10 02:47:46 UTC
My apologies. In my attempts to get a proper backtrace, I recompiled with a
different GCC version. (GCC 3.3.5 instead of GCC 3.4.3)

The problem appears to have gone away. Looks like a GCC issue.
Comment 5 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2005-03-10 07:02:30 UTC
Thanks for the feedback.  we'll do some additional testing 
under valgrind.
