Description Wolfgang Baudler 2016-10-26 12:29:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

the gam_server process is crashing intermittently with a segfault, leaving this in the logs

kernel: gam_server[31283]: segfault at 20 ip 00000000004038c0 sp 00007fff0952d4f8 error 4 in

At the same time the message "end from FAM server connection" is printed in open console windows.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gamin-0.1.10-9.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Happens for all Gnome users. Log into Gnome desktop and monitor logs.
KDE users do not seem to have this happening.

Actual results:
gam_server process segfaults and re-spawns

Expected results:
Have no segfaults occurring


Additional info:

We have a NFS/NIS environment were the users home directories are NFS automounted, in case it has anything to do with that.

Thanks for your bug report. 

Can you provide gam_server backtrace for those crashes, please?

Although, I suppose it is a duplicate of bug 1385040.
