Writing A New One

BYOND Version:	507
Operating System:	Linux
Web Browser:	Chrome 43.0.2357.130
Applies to:	Dream Daemon

Status:

Open

Issue hasn't been assigned a status value.

Descriptive Problem Summary: When booting up the server on the latest
stable version, crashing happens more often. The server crashed three times within the past hour or so and seems to indicate that realloc() is the cause.

Here are the logs: http://pastie.org/private/063fb55twbdjkos9qewxea

I edited your report because this is 507, not 508. But the log shows clearly that this is not in fact the latest stable version. The latest stable version is 507.1286, but your crash log shows this happened in 507.1279.

Complicating matters is that this crash apparently happened in a reallocation within the webclient code, and that definitely needs to be kept up to date. (If you're going to host for the webclient, I actually recommend always keeping the server on the newest beta version.) I don't know if the webclient code specifically is responsible for the issue or if this just happens to be where the crash happened, because it's some kind of heap corruption.

This is really as far as I can take this issue without details from a newer build.

Writing A New One	We'll be updating to the latest webclient beta to see if the issue persists.
