Description Chris Chance 2005-04-12 07:46:10 UTC
I have an httping running in a script to check if my proxy server is up and if not i do some scripting to bypass the proxy server... for some reason it works but at random times httping reports a segfault to dmesg.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Emerge httping
2.Set script to run httping and do our little thang
3.Add script to crontab for every 1 minute.

Actual Results:  
httping[1155]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaafdb450 rsp
00007ffffffff988 error 4

Expected Results:  
Proper response no segfault

Chk Script

This script is whats executing httping ... this is in crontab to run every
minute
Comment 2 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-12 11:54:08 UTC
Which version are you using (both 0.0.95 and 1.0.1 are ~amd64)?  I've tried to replicate this with 1.0.1, and I cannot do so.  I don't, however, have a proxy to test through.
Comment 3 Chris Chance 2005-04-12 14:02:09 UTC
not sure if it does it without proxy... im using 1.01 with ssl enabled nothing special use my script remove the -x proxy and crontab it to run every minute and see if it happens i guess happened 4 times over the course of the day for some reason.
Comment 4 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-12 15:39:16 UTC
Okay, I've been using 1.0.1 all day on a tight loop to several hosts, but without proxy, and no cores so far.  I'll keep trying, but the proxy thing seems the most likely candidate.  FWIW, the build is completely free of warnings, even with -Wall.
Comment 5 Mike Doty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-03 17:57:16 UTC
fixing severity.  whats the status of this?
Comment 6 Mike Doty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-03 18:09:09 UTC
is this still an issue, noone can seem to reproduce it.
Comment 7 Chris Chance 2005-05-03 19:38:19 UTC
This problem still exists i have tried changing cflags and still it bombs the same way as long as im using proxy
Comment 8 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-03 20:27:15 UTC
I've now tested this here, with a proxy, and it works fine.  I'm running through squid.
Comment 9 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-21 13:33:25 UTC
WORKSFORME too with and without proxies...
