Dear Caroline,

We had a long discussion here in the list whether or not one should call Tcl_Finalize() during cleanup. While i am not in favor of commenting Tcl_Finalize() out on a unix-like os, i think that the possible harm of doing so is limited. A crash during finalize can hint to a problem sitting some else.

Concerning your crash-case: do you experience crashes on every ns_shutdown?

i would recommend to upgrade to tcl 8.5.11 if possible.

best regards

Dear Caroline,

                I use Aolserver on Windows Environments.

There the shutdown is always a problem if nsmain.c calls Tcl_Finalize.

To avoid any problem I had to comment out this call:

*#ifndef*_WIN32

    Tcl_Finalize();

*#endif*

I believe that if you do the same, that is you comment out this call, you may avoid all race conditions you are experiencing.

Please do notice that not calling Tcl_Finalize is not an issue, cause the Aolserver process is anyhow about to die and the proper cleaning of all allocated resources is performed by the operating system.

Hope it helps,

Maurizio

We are shutting down aolserver via the control port using the ns_shutdown command. We are getting intermittent coredumps during the shutdown process. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to resolve this?

Here's some more info...
