- Subject: segmentation fault in /sbin/init from sysvinit package under 1.7.1
Hi
When running the cygwin 1.5 version under 1.7.1 there is a segmentation
violation showing up
INIT: version 2.86 booting
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! sleeping for 30 seconds.
INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! sleeping for 30 seconds.
INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! sleeping for 30 seconds.
...
and the rc.d scripts do not get executed also it seems init is still
running. Recompiling the sysvinit package under 1.7.1 doesn't help.
I tried to debug the situation and the culprit seems to be line 2075 in
the function call check_init_fifo in init.c:
main
init_main
check_init_fifo
/* Wait for data to appear, _if_ the pipe was opened. */
if (pipe_fd >= 0) while(!quit) {
/* Do select, return on EINTR. */
FD_ZERO(&fds);
FD_SET(pipe_fd, &fds);
tv.tv_sec = 5;
tv.tv_usec = 0;
n = select(pipe_fd + 1, &fds, NULL, NULL, &tv); <----------- 2075
if (n <= 0) {
if (n == 0 || errno == EINTR) return;
continue;
}
I'm lost here and would need a little help. init.exe is just one source
code file. init runs fine under 1.5
Ciao
Volker
