Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2014-01-21 02:53:40 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1055818 +++

pmcd in the new 3.8.10-1.fc19 build crashes not too long after startup
on one of my x86-64 servers with a SEGV.  It is monitored remotely with
a pmmgr instance (thus the default pmlogconf/pmieconf configs).

[...]

We need some better range checking and probably larger default limits.
Comment 1 Nathan Scott 2014-01-21 22:44:01 UTC 
Frank has fixed this upstream via commit 91136b3b, and our paddle is at the ready to start rowing it downstream (pending any followup to comment #c1 over in bz 1055818).
Comment 2 Nathan Scott 2014-01-22 05:32:38 UTC 
Build of package pcp-3.8.10-2.el7 resolves this and adds test case qa/844 to exercise it into pcp-testsuite (for QE folks - note use of nping(1), which comes from the nmap package).
