ShowEQ crashing

[Mr. Suspicious]

I just noticed this with version 4.2.2.

After two hours playing I was in in Rivervale, then ran to Misty Thicket, Ported from there (I'm a druid) to Sro and ran to Innothule Swamp. When I zoned from Sro into Innothule swamp all ShowEQ windows (including the terminal window) just * pooffed *

I then opened another terminal window, started ShowEQ again, zoned back into Sro, then when ShowEQ was up again, zoned back into Innothule swamp.

I proceded towards the 2nd "Hand" (the one not on the map) and when I arrived there, right clicked the map and added a "Location" (surpricingly it didn't show on the map), then I hit my gate Button (that gated me back to my bindspot Katta Castelium)

Then... ShowEQ crashed again, but this time leaving the Terminal window open, here's a few outstanding error messages I see:

1. After starting up ShowEQ right after the "Please see http://blahbla for further information":

Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

2. Just before Client detected:

INVALID PACKET: Bad CRC32 [IP -> IP] seq 0100 len 0 crc32 (00010001 != 5ffba2e0)
INVALID PACKET: Bad CRC32 [IP -> IP] seq 8180 len 75 crc32 (00015180 != e0b81964)

3. Just before Zone: EntryCode Server, Zone: innothule

EQPacket::dispatchZoneData():CharprofileCode:Not Detected

4. Right after the Timestamp "Time: 06:26 03/28/3172

EQ EPOCH OCCURRED AT 771364371 SECONDS PAST UNIX EPOCH

5. all these previous things were not critical... ran around a bit, picked some things up, then casted the gate spell and

selfFinishSpellCast - id=36, by=6
Zone: ChangeCode: Client, Zone: katta
Segmentation error

That's when ShowEQ crashed.

Hope this will be helpfull

If a core file was dumped, do a backtrace and post the results... search the forums for how to do that..

Ok, found a few core files using the

[]# find / -name core -print

commandline.

/dev/core/
/proce/sys/net/core/
/usr/lib/pgsql/cintrib/retep/uk/org/retep/xml/core
/usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10/net/core

Non of these look to me as ShowEQ related. Am I correct in assuming when I do:

[]# ulimit -c unlimited

That it will dump the core, next time it gives a segmentation error? And, more important for me to know, do I need to give this command each time I start ShowEQ or is it a system parameter that once set will be retained? (linux-noobie)

(for my own reference)

After I experience this again, I'll do in the /showeq/src/ directory:

[]# gdb

(gdb) file showeq
(gdb) core-file /full/path/and/filename/to/the/core.file
(gdb) bt

And report back here with the results. Thanks for pointing me into the right direction Jeeves.

The core file you want should end up in the working directory when you crash...

--Jeeves

[Mr. Suspicious]

Okay, no core file there. Unless...

mapcore.cpp, mapcore.h or mapcore.o is what I am looking for?

Will try to reproduce now that I set Ulimit (hope it's retained) and come back after that.
