Hide Forgot
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #420721 +++ -- Additional comment from nicolas.mailhot on 2008-01-13 07:27 EST -- Created an attachment (id=291499) More mbsync messages after a few weeks of rawhide operation I was also seeing this, though I am unable to reproduce. The crashes always look like this: Error: journal entry at /home/nim/.mbsync/:local:INBOX_:gmail:Archives!Courrier entrant.journal:2 refers to non-existing sync state entry *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/mbsync: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00000000007568a0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6[0x3db287601c] /lib64/libc.so.6(cfree+0x8c)[0x3db28797dc] /usr/bin/mbsync[0x40d631] /usr/bin/mbsync[0x40d680] /usr/bin/mbsync[0x404adb] /usr/bin/mbsync[0x4036f8] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x3db281e2b4] /usr/bin/mbsync[0x402769]

Nicolas: Regarding the journal entry -- do you remember forcibly terminating mbsync or running twice at the same time (e.g. by hand plus in cron, etc?) Also, it would be awesome if we were able to get the core dump, preferrably at the Error time, not when glibc terminates mbsync. I will compile a version with abort() there. Would it be possible for you to get core dump from mbsync then? (I am not going to ask for it then though, as it might contain sensitive information, but it might be possible to get some clue from it with your help).
(In reply to comment #2) > Nicolas: Regarding the journal entry -- do you remember forcibly terminating > mbsync or running twice at the same time (e.g. by hand plus in cron, etc?) I may have done so once upon a time but mbsync only ran in cron since of course it's possible mbsync happened to be scheduled at a time the system stopped for another reason (system stop, crash whatever), or that anacron tried to launch mbsync just before cron started another instanced. I dumped the raw cron logs since I don't have the time to investigate it a lot, and almost every time I did a manual sync it worked (or failed once, then worked when I added debug, probably because there was nothing left to sync or the state server-side changed) > Also, it would be awesome if we were able to get the core dump, preferrably at > the Error time, not when glibc terminates mbsync.

Please propose something I can just put in cron since live system seems the only way to reliably trigger the problems > Would it be possible for you to get core dump from mbsync then? > (I am not going to ask for it then though, as it might contain sensitive > information, but it might be possible to get some clue from it with your help). I won't put a core in bugzilla but I may send one encrypted directly to you if you wish

Does this problem still occurs with isync-1.0.4?
