Crashes in OpenBSD 3.7 with kill -1 anyone?

Hello all,

I just setup unreal 3.2.3 and joined EpicIRC and everything works just fine - *but* sending kill
-1 or kill -HUP, then ircd crashes with a coredump. Did just run ktrace on it and if anyone in
here can have a look and see whats wrong, I'd be very grateful.

Compilation went just fine without errors and the server runs smoothly, but this is so
annoying and embarrising

I run OpenBSD 3.7 without any emulating support at all.

Best wishes: Peter

OpenBSD has caused problems in the past, and people have reported issues with newer versions as well (see bugs.*).
That's why reports like this should really go into the bugtracker at http://bugs.unrealircd.org.

To be more precise, the bug id is #2482.

OpenBSD apparently has difficulties with coding their dl* routines correctly... Things were crashing in the past, then on newer OpenBSD version it was working correctly, and it almost looks like they have broken it again.

So I very much think OpenBSD is again at fault here, and seeing that it previously took 10+ manhours and 2 coders to find that out, I haven't been looking forward to it to take a look at it again.
But EVEN AFTER I said on bugs.* I was willing to trace it down... nobody offered an openbsd shell, even after asking repeatidly! :(

I can provide it ofcourse. Just email me and I'll set it up for you at my server - or get onto
epicirc and #openbsd.se - i am farfar there....

I understand its a pain to satisfy all os'es

But everything else works smoothly so just this bug so far I've seen.

Please get in touch with me or email...

Best wishes: Peter
