Bugzilla – Bug 9166
Segmentation fault on Fedora 9 x86_64, Perl 5.10, SC 7.1
Last modified: 2011-05-30 07:17:25 UTC
As mentioned in http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50681 I'm getting a bunch of segmentationfaults once a day. They all look like: Aug 6 08:59:21 server kernel: squeezecenter-s[5314]: segfault at 0 ip 36d3d4045d sp 7fff01eacaf0 error 4 in libperl.so[36d3c00000+19f000] With objdump -d libperl.so I disassembled the library where the segfault occurs... When I search for the address mentioned in the loggings (36d3d4045d) I come to an address within a 'function' named <Perl_utf16_to_utf8_reversed> I'm absolutely not sure if this is a correct assumption... Squeezecenter keeps running and I can't find any problems caused by the above exept the 'annoyance' of the messages, I don't even know what squeezecenter is doing at the exact moment. The bug probably has something to do with the combination of x86_64 and Perl 5.10 and I'm not even sure if this is a bug in Squeezecenter or a bug in Perl itself. The component I picked is a wild guess... If you need more info just tell me what you need and I'll be happy to provide the extra info.
Can you narrow it down to a specific song in your library?
(In reply to comment #1) > Can you narrow it down to a specific song in your library? > Unfortunately I can't. Most times I'm not even playing music when it happens. I just set logging on the items mentioned below to debugging in hope that I can more precisely define the point where the segmentation faults occur. I'll let you know what I find. (scan) (scan.import) (scan.scanner) (server) (server.memory) (server.plugins) (server.scheduler)

Please re-test with 7.4 are you still able to reproduce this? http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.4
Customer has not responded, closing bug
Closed to soon... I was on a holiday at that time and not untill this weekend I updated to the 7.4 release and unfortunately the segfault is still there. The current situation: Fedora 11 Squeezebox Server 7.4.1 Perl 5.10 Priority stays the same as I can't find any negative results from these segfaults other than the message in the systems logfiles.
further info: I set squeezeboxserver to rescan my music every day at 5.30am, nowhere near the time of the daily segfaulting... which suggest me that the scanner is not the cause...
I managed to do some debugging during the segmentation faults.

Unfortunately the crashes haven't disappeared with an upgrade to 7.5.0 Since the last time I posted here I removed the TrackStat plugin and I'm getting less of these crashes, the number of segfaults has reduced to 7.
FWIW, I also get these daily crashes.

I know I'm running an old SqueezeCenter, but other comments in this bug report seem to suggest it's release-independent. I don't really care that much about this - the system carries on running fine. But I add this comment to show that it's not isolated to just one user.
I'm also seeing perl segmentation faults in the system log. Just one fault logged each day at 17:01. I'm running SBS 7.5.1 on a Slackware installation. The system is, basically, a fileserver - SBS is the only user of perl. Example: Aug 2 17:01:19 Tower kernel: perl[30893]: segfault at 0 ip 0810d070 sp bfb17c30 error 4 in perl5.10.0[8048000+123000]
I've just noticed that the time of day at which the segfault occurs has changed ... I believe that it occurs 24 hours and one minute after SBS was started, and every 24 hours after that.
New info from my side: Last week I've updated my system to Fedora 13 and the segfaults are gone... So it probably is not a bug in Squeezecenter itself. Squeezecenter just triggers it... Probably the segfault is resolved in Perl somewhere in the versions provided between Fedora 11 and 13... IMHO its absolutely NOT a critical issue (or am I reading this the wrong way) as Squeezecenter and everything else just moves on...
Thanks for the update.
