Hello,
working on getting OpenSSH (5.2p1 + OpenSSL 0.9.8k with uClinux patch)
to run in a uClinux environment I ran into a problem.
The ssh client gets a SIGSEGV when it tries to access environment
variables. So I put a wrapper around getenv which checks the "extern
char **environ" pointer. It showed that it has the value 0x58585858
which is a rather improbable value. As a workaround I let the getenv
wrapper set up a default environment. This works until the ssh client
tries to exit gracefully. On exit it gets a SIGSEGV again.
To check if the environment is messed up in any case, I wrote a simple
program that only dumps the environment variables. This program works
fine. So the cause of the problem lies more in the ssh client.
Has anybody seen similar problems?
Regards
Christoph Baumann
