Strange crashes

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Fr=E9d=E9ric_Thomas?=]

For the last 3-4 days, my slimserver crashes. No message, no log,
nothing (last line is "2005-05-04 08:55:49.0254 SlimServer done
start..."). Mac OS X 10.3.9. SlimServer 6.0.x (tried the latest
nightly, 6.0.1 and 6.0.2) with 2 slimp3 players attached (latest
firmware).

6.0.2 and later crash while rebuilding the library (containing accented
chars, but no relation to that I can find in the log). 6.0.1 survives
it.

The last access to the db and the pref file is at 16:45 or something.
Then at 3:52 it crashes. In between the 2 events, the server is non
responsive, in never land or something.

I recently played with Portage and Fink. Any idea what could be wrong
here. I am actually not certain it is slimserver...

Here's the crash dump, if it helps:

Frederic,

that's funny. I just opened my mailer to write a similar message. 10
minutes ago I searched for the 6.0.1 release because 6.0.2 crashes
without any interaction.

To avoid any side effects during the scan I even started the slimserver
executable with the noscan option (./slimserver --noscan &). I have to
wait for 6-12 hours. In this timeframe I don't start one of my players
to play music. On one player the clock is shown - that's all. And at
some time in this timeframe the process disappears. It just disappears.

I'm on Suse Linux 9.3. I don't see any debug message nor dumps. It just
dies. I will start the process with debug options to see if something is
shown there I can report from the Linux platform.

Tried with all debug flags on, it stops nowhere in particular.

not all errors are trapped by the debug. have you tried running from command
line?
-kdf

Hi,

do you mean without the ampersand (&)? I have no local display on this
machine. I start the process within an SSL session from one of my
workstations. What I can do is to run it from one of these workstations
and keep the SSL session open. I will do so ASAP.

I will come back.

Another thing to do when running from the command prompt is to uncomment
the line in slimserver.pl which reads:
#$SIG{__DIE__} = \&Slim::Utils::Misc::bt;

That way a backtrace will be generated when it crashes.
