i have still problems to get the newest version of hobbit server on HPUX 11.11 running. Since the server component is not running, i cant say something about the new client.. :(
So it would be interesting to hear whether someone got 4.1.1 or the latest snapshot running and i would be grateful if you could take a look on this problem.. some additional details are included within my last email on 26.07..
The error appears once a minute within bb-display.log: "hobbitd status-board not available"
The "hobbitd" task dies with signal 6 once a minute as well, leaving a core file.
Those two are related: When hobbitd crashes, it cannot provide the data that the display task needs to build the webpages.
GDB output as following: #8 0xc019901c in free () from /usr/lib/libc.2 #9 0x0000bf9c in main (argc=0, argv=0x0) at hobbitd.c:3621
This one is interesting, because it looks like a regular problem with releasing a buffer used to store a request that has been handled by hobbitd.
I've done some reviewing of the hobbitd code today, and would like you to try out the current version. You can pick up the single file from http://www.hswn.dk/beta/snapshot/hobbitd/hobbitd.c - just save this to the snapshot/hobbitd/ directory and run "make" to rebuild Hobbit. Shutdown Hobbit (you probably already have), run "make install" and start Hobbit. Any better ?
If not, I'd like you to edit the file snapshot/lib/memory.h and change the line near the top that reads #undef MEMORY_DEBUG to #define MEMORY_DEBUG 1
Then run "make clean; make lib-build hobbitd-build". Then instead of "make install", do a "cp hobbitd/hobbitd /usr/local/hobbit/server/bin/" (adjust if your Hobbit server is not in /usr/local/hobbit/server/).
This will still crash, but hopefully it will generate some more output in the logfile before crashing.
