Sudden rash of "logfetch" crashes in libc on RHEL 6 Linux?!?
Starting about 45 minutes ago as I type this, all of a sudden, 5 of my machines running Xymon 4.3.17 have gotten afflicted with a mysterious 'disease' - "logfetch" is endlessly crashing on all of them.
The core files being created are getting corrupted for some reason, and they are magically getting deleted as a result, so I can't debug the problem.
One machine is running 64-bit RHEL 6.5; the rest 64-bit RHEL 6.3. Client version is as I mentioned 4.3.17:
xymon-client-4.3.17-1.el6.x86_64
This cycle is getting repeated every 1 minute and 40 seconds - help!

I doubt that "libc" got simultaneously corrupted on all 5 systems so there must be something wrong in "logfetch". The segfault ip is always "000000355a4c835f" on the 4 RHEL 6.3 systems while the stack pointer varies.

P.S. Why am I getting these "isn't signed with proper key" messages as well?

I wonder if it's the same logfetch bug that's been lingering fat least 3 years:

You might try out the work-around mentioned there to see if it helps.

Maybe this can help:
