rtorrent segfaults on FC5

[adam@ilauren.net]

Looks like rtorrent segfaults when a torrent completes.

Caught Segmentation fault, dumping stack:B] [Port: 9003] [U 18/18] [S 5/73/768] [F 128/128] 0 rtorrent [0x80574a1] 1 rtorrent [0x8069416] 2 [0xc8c420] 3 rtorrent [0x80a8230] 4 rtorrent [0x8097bec] 5 rtorrent [0x805905a] 6 /lib/libc.so.6(libc_start_main+0xdc) [0xcbf4e4] 7 rtorrent(_ZN7torrent18set_max_open_filesEj+0x95) [0x8050fb1]

saw the same segv some hours ago on FC5 here. cannot tell context, as it ran in a unattendeed windows. anyway, the torrent was completed successfully.

I have the same problem. rtorrent crashes on finishing torrents on HTTP trackers, and DOES NOT crash when finishing torrents on UDP trackers. I was able to produce a trace of such a crash and it seems there's a bug in using curl. (or in curl itself, I cannot be sure of that). I will try, if possible, to paste a trace here.

Try upgrading to latest libcurl version, I've submitted a patch to fix a bug in it.

FC5 currently uses the latest libcurl: curl-7.15.5-1.fc5

Nothing later on their website either. Guess we'll just have to wait for a new release from them and hope the fix is included.

Interestingly, I was able to download RPM's for rtorrent 0.6.2 and libtorrent 0.10.2 from Fedora Extras even though they don't seem to be available via yum:

Downloaded a couple of torrents successfully without a crash.

Well, they included my first fix in 7.15.5, but there were some more bugs fixed by this patch. It will be in the next release of curl.

Try the latest svn version, it fixes a bug that should be the cause of these errors.
