Do you see the same problem on this server here?

If not, then it must be related to your specific configuration. You have to teach me how to reporduce the error in order to fix it. Best would
be a minimal elogd.cfg which causes the error.

Hi Stefan,

The problem seems to be specific with our logbooks. Maybe one of the file is corrupted or bad string encoding ?! But how to find the source of
the problem ?

The only way for me is to reproduce it. Could be corrupted data file, or config file. Try with a new logbook with the same configuration, then add logbook
files one by one until it happens.

Hi Stefan.

I installed debuginfo and ran elogd with gdb attached.


(gdb) backtrace

Hi Stefan,

My previous dump is useless as your elog-debuginfo rpm is stripped.

So i rebuild elog w/ -g , reinstall it and activate core generation. I restst a search of "test" and get this in gdb corefile .

At #5, there is message_id=426 . You think it's this elog entries # 426 that is the source of crash  ?

Looks like. Can you dig into the database file and have a look at that entry? Or send me the file containing that entry (together with your elogd.cfg)
