Slurm

Resolved

If a player logged out in the middle of a map update, the server could crash. This only became evident in versions 468+ due to improved responsiveness to the client-server communication.

BYOND Version:	470
Operating System:	FreeBSD
Web Browser:
Applies to:	Dream Daemon

Status:

Resolved (471)

This issue has been resolved.

Don't know what caused the crash. I have the core file if you want it.

BUG: Crashing due to an illegal operation!

Slurm	Crash occured again at at Sun Jun 13 17:39:20 2010.

Slurm	Crash occured two more times, this started up when I moved from 467.1069 to 469.1073.

Tom	Thanks. I'll take a look at the trace. If you can post the core somewhere that might help (not sure if I need it just yet). Hopefully this is related to the other issues people are having with 468/469.

A friend running the same dmb on linux (well, compiled on linux from the same code) is getting crash issues too as of 469.1073, I've suggested he post the stacktrace on the bugs system.

Looking at the core file in GDB shows:

The two addresses before SendMaps are mislabeled (because those functions are near those named functions).

Slurm	Problem still occurs in 470.1075. New core file sent to Tom.

Slurm	After much back and forth with Tom in working on the crash, the issue has been identified and most likely fixed for next release. "The cause of the crash was a player logging off in the middle of a map update."
