The following description is from the person who analyzed the core dump, I'll only add that the box in question had two NICs, and networking was misconfigured in such a way that "arp $(hostname)" was failing.
The axis2c library (used by GenericID) coredumps in axutil_uuid_gen_v1() (uuid_gen_unix.c) if it cannot retrieve the host system's MAC address. Libraries should not core dump without providing details of the underlying cause. The axutil_uuid_gen_v1() function should be modified to check that the mac_addr pointer is not NULL, and raise an error using the appropriate mechanism if it is NULL. Extra points if the called axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() reports what system calls failed (note there are 3 axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr(), depending on the build system type). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
