Just recompiled the package after one year. bacula-fd, bacula-sd and bacula-dir all crashes just after startup if the package is compiled with some optimization in CFLAGS (even for -O1). See following snippet for bacula-fd as example: * Starting bacula file daemon ... *** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/sbin/bacula-fd terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x7fe3c43b1ce7] /lib/libc.so.6[0x7fe3c43afb00] /usr/sbin/bacula-fd[0x432898] /usr/sbin/bacula-fd[0x4066fa] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6)[0x7fe3c42ed5c6] /usr/sbin/bacula-fd(__gxx_personality_v0+0x241)[0x406299] ======= Memory map: ======== ... emerge --info: Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Quad_CPU_Q9400_@_2.66GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:15:02 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p28 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r3, 2.6.2-r1 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache collision-detect distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userlib-strict userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.wh2.tu-dresden.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/ ftp://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/ " LANG="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=gnu" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/layman/sunrise /usr/local/portage/layman/science /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa amd64 bash-completion berkdb bzip2 cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd fortran gdbm gpm gtk hal iconv ipv6 jpeg lock logrotate mmx modules mudflap multilib mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre perl png pppd python qt3support readline reflection session spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd thunar tk unicode vorbis xfce xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev intel" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Hmm, seems to be a problem with GCC's FORTIFY_SOURCE. See also http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1138 on baculas bug reporting system.
Sorry, just found that the problem was discussed before in bug 257016. Did not dig deep enough in bugzilla. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 257016 ***
