 This seems an internal memory allocation problem. Can you reproduce the error? Can you reproduce it with the minimal configuration file coming with the distribution? If you know how to run a program inside the debugger, you can send me a stack trace when the problem occurs and I can check it.

I can produce the problem, but it is related to the information in the logbook which I cannot share...

Configuration:

I know nothing about gdb. Here are my stumbling attempts of using it, please tell me how to use gdb:

Where is one (note that it is another elogd version), I search all logbook for "pure .* ring" in subject in "Mode: Raw".

The above "deadc0de" came from when I submitted an entry.

 

Where is one (note that it is another elogd version), I search all logbook for "pure .* ring" in subject in "Mode: Raw".

 I'm also having this problem.

It's reproducible, It happens if I try to view a certain entry (or the main list page when that entry is near the top), but goes away when I remove the datafile for that entry.

The file is quite large, since it contains several long entries in HTML encoding with some tables and stuff.

The problem is related to the long entries. It has already been fixed in revision 2141 last month. So please upgrade to the current version.

 I don't know what happened here - I mean, I understand the ">" characters being added to the start of every line of a quoted previous entry, but now what then happened to the formatting.

By default in plain mode elog adds ">" to the start of every quoted line, just as quoting an email will do (some mailer programs).

If you're beyond your nteenth reply, word-wrapping of the browser etc makes past comments difficult to read.  Of course it would be equally difficult in in html mode as the boxes would get more and more nested.

Not sure if your link here about html is relivent to the use of the ">" to indicate a quoted reply or not, although that wasn't really my question - which was about date format in the config file.

Hi David,
yes, a $date is substituted with the "Time format" in the function build_subst_list().
I guess that is a bug, but it could break many existing logbooks to change it.
I leave this to Stefan.

There is a simple solution for your problem: you can execute a shell command.

Prepend on reply = $shell(date '+[%d %b]') \n
Reply string =

That snipped will do exactly what you want :-) (of course you need to have the "-x" option to start elogd.)

Kind Regards
Andreas
