when i try to forward an article by email, pan just crash, but is not frozen, i still can use it, there is only a task remaining 'handshaking with server" or something like that. i made a run log and backtrace
Created attachment 7081 [details] the runlog
Created attachment 7082 [details] the back trace
T'aZ, I'd like to have a look at this, but I can't get to these attachments. I think they're compressed files, but set with a text filetype. Could you send them to us at pan@rebelbase.com ? Thanks, Christophe
the 2 files are in bz2, sorry ..
T'aZ, I think I know what's going on here. By any chance, are you posting from a machine that doesn't have a resolvable hostname ? If you don't know what I mean by that: check the output of the 'hostname' command. The response should either be in /etc/hosts, or resolvable by DNS. Regards, Christophe
hm, i'm connected via a gw (an other machine w/ iptables) and 'hostname' gives the name of my machine, and this name is in /etc/hosts (logic no?) so my pc has a 'resolvable hostname' only in my lan, you dont see it from internet (normally..)
OK. In this case, we'll need to look a little closer. I saw in your stack trace that you're building from source, so this should be easy for you: Could you recompile Pan with full debugging info ? This means reconfiguring and recompiling with CFLAGS=-ggdb3. A stack trace with this new executable will give us the exact line it is crashing. If any variables are being used on the line in question, it would be handy if you printed out their value (e.g. if a variable 'hp->h_name' is used, just do a 'print hp' and a 'print hp->h_name'). Regards, Christophe
yup, justa have done it attached the backtrace
Created attachment 7088 [details] the backtrace of pan compiled with debug flag
Just as I suspected, Pan is not able to look up your hostname. Don't really understand why, if your hostname ('debian') is indeed in the /etc/hosts file of the box Pan is running on. Weird. In any case, the crash is fixed in CVS. Thanks for helping me trace this one. Regards, Christophe
yup, thx for having fixed it :) but i think there is a problem with nameresolution on my box, i got also 'unknow hostname' when X starts, donno why but anyway , good work, ;)
