Comment 1 Sitsofe Wheeler 2005-01-05 22:46:21 UTC
Is there any output in dmesg?

Comment 2 AJ 2005-01-06 20:49:33 UTC
Please see this proftpd bug for all the details.

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2005-01-07 15:16:16 UTC
Can't reproduce this.
Can you run proftpd under gdb and see where it crashes, or run it once under
strace -f and once under ltrace (in all cases proftpd -n, so that it doesn't
daemonize)?
What's in your nsswitch.conf?

Comment 7 AJ 2005-01-10 15:49:38 UTC
Do those traces help?  

Comment 8 Jakub Jelinek 2005-01-18 15:00:02 UTC
Unfortunatley they don't.  The strace log is incomplete (strace -f -p `pidof
proftpd` proftpd is not useful), it is needed from the start of the program.
Were you running strace -f /usr/sbin/proftpd -n
while no other ftpd's were running or something else?
ltrace log has no info at all.

Does LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so proftpd -n print out something?

Comment 9 charvel 2005-01-18 19:43:41 UTC
Well, I do:
export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libSegFault.so
export SEGFAULT_OUTPUT_NAME="/tmp/crash.log"
export SEGFAULT_SIGNALS="all"
export SEGFAULT_USE_ALTSTACK="1"

and got:

Comment 10 Jakub Jelinek 2005-01-19 11:25:03 UTC
That's a segfault in expect, not proftpd.

Comment 11 charvel 2005-01-19 20:51:56 UTC
Well, I recompiled and install new version of expect - still the same - proftpd 
die after ls, but now I cant get output a crash.log
How to trace it? I try:

Comment 12 AJ 2005-01-21 21:42:32 UTC
So this is a bug in expect, not glibc?

Comment 13 Jakub Jelinek 2005-02-07 10:57:03 UTC
Another bug against RHEL4 contained a testcase that reproduced likely the
same problem.  Should be fixed with:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2005-02/msg00005.html

Comment 14 Jakub Jelinek 2005-02-14 17:54:05 UTC
Should be fixed in glibc-2.3.4-10 in rawhide.
