I am running CircleMud 3.0 patch 11 and am experiencing crashes. The mud compiles fine, it just crashes sometimes when running. When I type gdb bin/circle lib/core I am informed that the program terminated with signal 11 segmentation fault a gdb backtrace gives the following information: #0 0xef5edfcc in _endopen() #1 0xef5ee108 in fopen() #2 0x5924c in log(str = 0x5c2c8) "New connection. Waking up." at utils.c: 133 #3 0x18fec in game_loop (mother_desc = 3) at comm.c: 478 #4 0x18bd4 in init_game (port=4000) at comm.c: 478 #5 0x18b58 in main(argc = 3, argv = 0effffdec) at comm.c:212 Another gdb trace (for another crash) gave the following information: Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0xef5ee50c in ??

I have added some classes to the game I followed the class.doc instructions and I don't think I made any errors. I also added haste & slow spells. These errors seem to occur during a player connection. I have not touched anything in comm.c or that involves player sockets (that I am aware of) where these errors are occurring for the most part. The code compiles cleanly and rapidly with no errors or warnings at all. The mud boots cleanly and rapidly with no errors reported in the syslog. Some background: We had another Circle-derived mud running on my account before. It was based on an earlier patch (8, I think). It did not have this crash problem. That mud has since gone elsewhere and I'm playing with my own mud ideas using a fresh copy of Circle patch 11. I have hard copies of some of the files from it for reference, however. The other mud's Makefile uses just the -wall option without the -fno strict prototypes. I am using just wall now too and the mud still compiles fine and the incidence of this connection crash is down (although not completely gone). Can anyone help me with this? What sort of additional info is needed? I can call the sysadmin with a list of questions, for example. I have a copy of the output from the configure script. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
