Using Elog 2.9.2

Elog crashes when making 10 replies, I narrowed the crash down to the Propagate Attributes setting.

I have an attribute "Status" that can be toggled between "Open" and "Closed" and that propagates all replies.  On the 10th reply the application crashed, this is repeatable 100% of the time.  Without the propagate option everything works fine.

Attached is my config file parsed down.

Is there a way around this, or is there a way on reply to change the attribute of the log note you replied to from open to closed without using the propagate option?

Was a tricky problem. When you use "Propagate Attributes", a routine is called inside elogd which recursively goes through all replies. It uses quite some memory for temporary storage of attributes and attachments. So after a certain time you get a stack overflow since you run out of memory. Since the stack size is different under different operating systems, it was hard for me to reproduce it initially. Now I use some different memory (dynamic heap instead stack) which should fix the problem. Can you pull from GIT and give it a try?

 Unfortunately, I am a little outside of my element when trying to compile it.  I will ask around and see if someone here could give me a hand.  Thanks for looking into this for me.

 

PS.  If anyone else has managed to compile this could you give me a hand =)

 This resolved the issue, thanks for the help.  I have tested it on server machines and was able to go over 10 each time.

 

Thank you for resolving this issue for me.

 I was able to manage and compile the latest code from GIT.  It runs fine so far.  Just a hint, in order to compile successfully, there are some steps that you may need to modify your header file depend on how you store your mxml, krb5, OpenSSL files and directories.

I have the same problem with Ubuntu 24 on a Raspberry Pi system; it crashed whenever I uploade an attachment.  Thanks!

Does this issue occur only on Ubuntu systems? as I've experienced the same on my Raspberry Pi 5 running Ubuntu too ...

While playing with TOP GROUP I managed to get elog 2.6.1 1660 on Solaris 9 to coredump. Since I didn't really understand TOP GROUP I tried a URL where I had http://elog.server.com/topgroupname/logbookname. Putting that logbookname at the end caused elog to dump.

Can this be reproduced by others?


No. This forum has the "elog" as the top group, "Forum" as the logbook, so if I write

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/elog/Forum

it does not crash.

No, the above link just works fine, just click it.

I was afraid to try Big grin . Ok, then the issue *might* be rev 1660 or perhaps the fact that compiled under Solaris it does this. Any suggestions on how to find out?
