Erlang seg faults while running ejabberd

[tty@REDACTED]

Hi,

Apologies if this was sent twice.

Erlang seg. faults while running ejabberd. My particular environment is:

SuSE v9.0
Linux 2.4.21-243-default
gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
Erlang (HIPE) (BEAM) emulator version 5.4.4
ejabberd 0.7.5

Backtrace result is:

Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)


A list shows:

3035        void *res = malloc((size_t) sz);
3036    #if HAVE_ERTS_MSEG
3037        if (!res) {
3038            erts_mseg_clear_cache();
3039            return malloc((size_t) sz);
3040        }
3041    #endif
3042        return res;
3043    }


Reproducing this takes around 2-3 tries on average.

Steps:

1. Setup a distributed ejabberd cluster (Node A and Node B). Both nodes have the same tables in mnesia
distributed using the same type (eg route is ram_copies on both nodes, offline_msg disc_only_copies on both etc).

2. Login on both nodes with one client each (tkabber was use in this case), Ca - client on Node A, Cb - client on Node B.

3. Ca chats with Cb.

4. Shutdown Node A.

5. Bring Node A back up.

6. Cb logs off.

7. Cb logs in.

At this point Node B should seg fault. As noted earlier it might require several attempts to obtain the seg fault.

Thanks in advance
