Unexpected crash

Anonymous — Sat, 02 Oct 2004 21:29:02 -0000

There is an unexpected crash "Errorcode 141" when
running the kernel mapper on certain architectures (AMD64).
This happens when the output buffer is resized in the
function d2p_print; reinitialisation of ap solves the
problem.

while ((RetVal >= Context->out_buf->Size - size
- 1) || (RetVal == -1))
{
ResizeBuffer (Context->out_buf,
Context->out_buf->Size);
p = Context->out_buf->Ptr + size;

+ va_end(ap); // PR
+ va_start(ap, fmt); // PR

RetVal = vsnprintf(p,
Context->out_buf->Size - size, fmt, ap);
}

What kernels does it work with 2.5.2a?

Anonymous — Wed, 20 Feb 2002 20:46:48 -0000

I've tried kernels 2.4.0, 2.4.17, 2.5.4, but I guess the same error error (or similar). I've
tried version 2.5.2a as well as what is in CVS (maybe the same).

Here is the output using 2.4.0:

Token < 2 Bytes
\make: *** [image/ring4] Error 141

I tried running "indent" on db9.c to see if it might help, but it did not. It would be nice if
the output would indicate where the error is in the source.

Thanx!
