[IRCServices Coding] Services 5 having problems to shut down

[Georges Berscheid]

Hi,

when I started services with a little error in my config file this happened:

[Dec 16 22:38:27 2001] Read error from server: Success
[Dec 16 22:38:27 2001] Services terminating: Segmentation fault
[Dec 16 22:38:27 2001] Services terminating: Segmentation fault
[Dec 16 22:38:27 2001] Services terminating: Segmentation fault

First, I didn't see that something was wrong, but suddenly many other
processes on the server crashed due to 'Out of memory'. That's what services
said 10 minutes later in the .log file as well. (At this point the .log file
had 290MB)

[Dec 16 22:48:15 2001] Out of memory!
[Dec 16 22:48:15 2001] Out of memory!
[Dec 16 22:48:15 2001] Out of memory!
[Dec 16 22:48:15 2001] Out of memory!

Seems like the get into an endless malloc-loop somewhere. Unfortunately
there is no core dump, because they were still alive after 10 minutes, and I
had to kill them through the console.
