Along with quite a number of others, I guess, I'm now actively looking at
upgrading from ESYS/Execmail/MessagingDirect (whatever the heck they are
called now) IMSP and IMAP to Cyrus.
I have a problem with Simeon and Execmail interworking with the Cyrus IMSP
server which seems pretty much identical to what was described back in
April 1996 - see below - in a nutshell, no address book problems, no option
saving problems, but unable to load options.
I've done some tracing, and what I see is that when Execmail issues a
"<tag> get imsp.*" command, Cyrus imspd dies. Using telnet as my client, I
see...
* OK Cyrus IMSP version 1.6a3 ready
. get common.*
* OPTION common.date "Tue, 27 Mar 2001 10:10:38 +0100" [READ-ONLY]
* OPTION common.delivery.hosts "(stingray.cse.bris.ac.uk)" [READ-ONLY]
* OPTION common.domain bris.ac.uk [READ-ONLY]
* OPTION common.from "" [READ-ONLY]
* OPTION common.sent.mailbox sentmail [READ-ONLY]
. OK get completed
. get imsp.*
Connection closed by foreign host.
At the server end (running imspd under "truss"), I see...
read(5, " . g e t c o m m o n".., 4096) = 16
time() = 985684238
poll(0xFFBE8920, 1, 30000) = 1
write(5, " * O P T I O N c o m".., 295) = 295
poll(0xFFBE9920, 1, 1800000) (sleeping...)
poll(0xFFBE9920, 1, 1800000) = 1
read(5, " . g e t i m s p . *".., 4096) = 14
Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS %pc = 0xFF136DCC
siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00000000
Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [caught]
siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00000000
sigaction(SIGSEGV, 0xFFBE9518, 0xFFBE9598) = 0
getpid() = 7202 [7201]
kill(7202, SIGSEGV) = 0
Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [default]
siginfo: SIGSEGV pid=7202 uid=0
*** process killed ***
This does appear to be a bug in the cyrus server and is obviously
catastophic to my plans to upgrade. Is there any possibility of a fix?
Cheers...
