**UPDATE** my zone will launch if i remove spells_us.txt is removed.. Its definately crashing loading the file, or not properly unloading(or unloading twice).. Can someone help me figure out exactly what path the code takes going through and loading spells_us.txt? ***

**more update =P** Apparently this is something new to fc3 where it has a MALLOC_CHECK variable, see below
Now with the MALLOC_CHECK i just segfault on loading spells_us.txt
Im running a proper spells_us.txt so somewhere for me, something is not being accessed correctly
>From the Fedora Core 3 release notes:

glibc
The version of glibc provided with Fedora Core 3 performs
additional internal sanity checks to prevent and detect data
corruption as early as possible. By default, should corruption
be detected, a message similar to the following will be displayed
on standard error (or logged via syslog if stderr is not open):

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x0937d008 ***

By default, the program that generated this error will also be
killed; however, this (and whether or not an error message is
generated) can be controlled via the MALLOC_CHECK_ environment
variable. The following settings are supported:

0 -- Do not generate an error message, and do not kill the program
1 -- Generate an error message, but do not kill the program
2 -- Do not generate an error message, but kill the program
3 -- Generate an error message and kill the program

Note

If MALLOC_CHECK_ is explicitly set a value other than 0, this
causes glibc to perform more tests that are more extensive than
the default, and may impact performance.

Should you have a program from a third party ISV that triggers
these corruption checks and displays a message, you should
file a defect report with the application's vendor, since this
indicates a serious bug.

Is there something in Doors.cpp that does not properly close up its connection or in spells that doesnt open it properly? What is different at all?

hey all. Im running almost the newest CVS (past the corpse update like 9/20ish) and my world works fine, ive compiled my binaries with gcc33 and I can get my zone to load up untill this point.


At this point cleanipcs does not properly get rid of

I have to manually kill these.

Also when i ran my start script that loads 15 zones, it basically brought hte server to a halt indefinately because i presume of all the unattached sos floating around


edit: added kernel info

After changing database.cpp line 2902 i was able to compile with 3.3, 4.0 and 3.4, will any of them work is another question..
