| Greetings all,
I have hacked the Copyover-7 patch code into my server code. It
compiles all nice-nice now. Yet, whenever a player tries to connect I
get a core dump, and sadly I am trying to presently teach myself GDB.
So if anyone has any assistance they are willing to offer, I would be
highly appreciate. Also this gets logged:
realloc failure: Success
Realloc failure @ comm.c:1407
I would assume realloc is a memory macro, but I am still plugging
along in the learning fo some things.
Thanks again in advance for your time,

| Search for gdb on this forum, there are some tips here and there.
realloc is a memory function that lets you take a memory pointer and change the amount of memory allocated to it. |

| Heyas,
Thank you Nick for your assistance there. I regretfully have been
away for a small time. At any rate, I was talking to a fellow admin
recently and decided to install Samson's Hotboot code instead of
copyover-7 from Erwin. As it stands at present, I have zero (o)
compile time errors. Although this is true, I am getting a problem
with connections, for instance as soon as anyone connects it
crashes(dumping an invisible(???) core file) and restarts. No log file
entry for the crash and I cannot seem to be able to find the core file.
So once more if anyone has any assistance to share, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Regards,
T. Esposito aka Evermahn the vagabond philosopher-hacker

| Heya again,
I really do appreciate this Nick, just to start off. My server is running RedHat 7.2. I get this when I try to connect:
telnet localhost 4242
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Abort (core dumped)
Connection closed by foreign host.
This is me trying to telnet from my shell account obviously. Yet there is no core file or anything in the logs. I am over my head here with nothing, apparently, to go on.
Thanks again in advance for your time,
T. Esposito | | Top |

| There should be a core file in the directory where the server is running.
You could try running it under gdb.
ie. instead of starting the server the way you are now, do this:
cd area
gdb ../src/smaug
run
This should run smaug "under" gdb. Hopefully then at the point of the crash it will be at the line in question. |
