Description billgrz 2012-07-12 17:51:46 UTC
Description of problem:
iftop runs, but after an unpredictable amount of time, it crashes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
version 1.0pre2

How reproducible:
Very.  Happens every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open terminal window.
2. Execute: iftop
3. Wait for crash, usually less than 2 minutes.
  
Actual results:
It runs, but then crashes with the message:

iftop: netlink.h:43: PROTO_ADDRESS_SIZE: Assertion `proto == 2 || proto == 10' failed.
     Aborted (core dumped)


Expected results:
Runs without error.

I've since discovered that iftop stability is greatly improved by turning off DNS resolution.  Instead of crashing within a few minutes, it runs for hours with DNS resolution off.

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2012-08-09 23:03:10 UTC
Thank you very much for the report, I have notified upstream about this.

Comment 3 Robert Story 2012-11-09 19:59:04 UTC
I'm seeing this to with iftop-1.0-0.2.pre2.fc17.x86_64.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 02:54:20 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 09:41:53 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 6 Robert Scheck 2013-11-16 19:04:12 UTC
As it seems that there are two similar issues in iftop, I still would like to 
track it down. Can you please try one of these scratch builds please and give
me some feedback?

Comment 7 billgrz 2013-11-16 22:22:06 UTC
Hi, Robert.

I've installed the F19 (64-bit) scratch build.  So far, so good.  However, since I filed the original bug, I've upgraded my computer to F19, and retired from the IT world, so I'm no longer in a position to give iftop a thorough workout.  The scratch build runs fine on my laptop at home and has not crashed after several hours. I hope this helps.

Best regards,
-Bill
