Description Toby Ovod-Everett 2013-01-14 18:23:51 UTC
Description of problem:

I'm seeing segfaults ever since updating from Ruby 1.9.3.327 to 1.9.3.362.  I've found numerous reports on the web indicating that 1.9.3.362 has issues (https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/827, https://gist.github.com/4433870, https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/1435, etc.).  It looks like it got fixed around 2013-01-08 (see https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7629#change-35286), but I suspect the fix didn't make it into the recently released Fedora packages.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ruby-1.9.3.362-24.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
Very.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See https://gist.github.com/4433870 (assumes you have Rails installed).
  
Actual results:
Pages of seg fault dump information.

Expected results:
Not to crash!

Additional info:
I'm trying to figure out how to get back to 1.9.3.327.  I can downgrade to 1.9.3.194, but that version has security issues.  There were no security issues addressed in 1.9.3.362, so I should be safe on 1.9.3.327, but it doesn't appear to be on the update servers anymore.

Comment 1 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-01-14 21:52:44 UTC
Would you attach the exact backtrace to verify the issue you see and check if the commit in ruby CVS actually fixes your issue?

Dump generated by running segfault.rb

This is the output from running segfault.rb from https://gist.github.com/4433870 using https://gist.github.com/4433870.

Comment 3 Toby Ovod-Everett 2013-01-14 22:30:24 UTC
I'm not running RVM, so I can't be 100% certain the commit in ruby CVS will fix the issue.  I can report that switching back to 1.9.3.194 does resolve the issue.  

In addition, the backtrace I just submitted bears a lot of similarity to the one posted at https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7669 (this is considered to be a duplicate of the main issue thread at https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7629).  The first four entries in the control frame information match as far as line numbers go.  The reporter on this thread indicates that 1.9.3-dev does resolve the issue.

Comment 7 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-01-17 00:57:23 UTC
Thank you for information. I think the coming -25 should fix this issue. Please try it.

Comment 8 Toby Ovod-Everett 2013-01-17 01:04:13 UTC
I've been watching https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ruby-1.9.3.362-25.fc17 waiting for it to say "This update has been pushed to testing".  As soon as I notice that it's on the testing repository, I'll test and provide feedback.

Comment 9 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-01-18 16:18:25 UTC
It seems pushing -25 into testing repo are taking time...
If you want to try -25 now, you can visit
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/ruby/
and download rpms manually.

Comment 10 Toby Ovod-Everett 2013-01-18 19:03:06 UTC
Installing the rpms manually from kojipkgs appears to work.

I updated from 1.9.3.194 to 1.9.3.362-24 and verified that segfault was still present.  I then updated to 1.9.3.362-25 (ruby-1.9.3.362-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, ruby-devel-1.9.3.362-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, ruby-irb-1.9.3.362-25.fc17.noarch.rpm, ruby-libs-1.9.3.362-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, rubygem-bigdecimal-1.1.0-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, rubygem-io-console-0.3-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, rubygem-rake-0.9.2.2-25.fc17.noarch.rpm) and verified that I couldn't get the segfaults to trigger any more (I did multiple test runs).

Thanks for the fix!

Comment 11 Fedora Update System 2013-01-18 20:22:58 UTC

Comment 12 Toby Ovod-Everett 2013-01-19 14:56:19 UTC
I waited for the repository to update and then downgraded and re-upgraded from the repository and verified that the packages on the repository resolve the segfaults.  I just left karma feedback.  Thanks once again!

Comment 13 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-01-19 18:14:47 UTC
1.9.3 p374 was released, mainly to fix segfault lots of people are seeing on p362. I will submit -27 as update.
