Fixed In Version: rgmanager-3.0.12.1-18.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
* Previously, attempts to start an MRG Messaging (MRG-M) broker caused rgmanager to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This was caused by subtle memory corruption introduced by calling pthread_mutex_unlock() on a mutual exclusion that was not locked. This update adresses scenarios where memory could be corrupted when calling pthread_mutex_unlock(), and crashes no longer occur in the described scenario.

another abrt core dump

I've added two additional core dumps after seeing this behavior repeated. Consider upping the frequency of the defect.
Comment 5 Ryan McCabe 2013-07-16 15:21:20 UTC 
Are you able to try a test package with a proposed fix?
Comment 6 Chester Knapp 2013-07-16 16:43:44 UTC 
I'll contact the customer to determine if this is feasible. Although, I don't have a reliable reproducer either way. rgmanager has cored 5 times out of several hundred over the last week, so it is still intermittent at best.

You can grab the build from https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/buildinfo?buildID=282334

Let me know how it goes.


Thanks for testing!
