I had many issues with libevent.  Switched the beta release of v2.x
which helped some, and now there are later versions of libevent.
However, bee communicating with Luca recently and he mentioned v3.4.x is
no longer using libevent.  I am still experiencing higher than expected
CPU Util when performing 15 reverse lookups / sec, however, there are no
longer any race conditions nor crashes relating to DNS stuff*

*I ran 3.4.x code for several weeks with no issues.  3.3.x code would've
had issues within 10 mins, or at most a 12 hours.

Subject: [Ntop] tracking down freebsd evdns assert failed issue?

 

Freebsd, 6.4, i386, ntop 3.3.10.

it (sorta) dies every now and then.

I opened a console on the tty that started it, and when it (sorta) dies,
I got this:

Assertion failed: (req_waiting_head), function
evdns_requests_pump_waiting_queue, file evdns.c, line 621.
does this mean that the req_waiting_head queue doesn't exist? isn't big
enough? any clue?

this appears to be a libevent library call, and not an ntop issue?
from libevent/work/evdns.c  line 621:

static void
evdns_requests_pump_waiting_queue(void) {
        while (global_requests_inflight < global_max_requests_inflight
&&
            global_requests_waiting) {
                struct request *req;
                /* move a request from the waiting queue to the inflight
queue */
                assert(req_waiting_head);
