Comment 6 Christophe Lambin 2002-03-19 23:18:39 UTC 
Looks like somebody's corrupting the 'message_id' hash table.  Looking
into this ...
Comment 7 Charles Kerr 2002-03-20 14:11:49 UTC 
the message-id hashtable strings get freed when the group's article
refcount goes down to zero.  Could the hashtable somehow be active
in another thread while this is happening?  Does the hashtable need
to ref the articles itself?

No. Have never seen this, despite trying the various things described

Comment 14 Charles Kerr 2002-05-13 18:26:44 UTC 
Consensus seems to be that this occurs most when jumping from
one group to another.  The hashtable corruption and articlelist
lines in the backtrace make me wonder if messageid_to_node is
being accessed after a group's articles have been unreffed.

Just a wild-assed guess.
Comment 15 Charles Kerr 2002-06-04 04:05:29 UTC 
I'm going to punt this until after 0.12.0.

We are not getting anywhere with this one, we really need
someone to reproduce it in a newer codebase (0.11.9x)
Comment 16 Tõivo Leedjärv 2002-06-06 19:59:46 UTC 
I have seen this error with older codebase, but it does not occur with
latest CVS (update 5 min ago). Then again, my ISP recently changed
news servers, so there's a slight chance, it has something to do with
different servers (just a wild guess).
Comment 17 Charles Kerr 2002-06-19 14:06:57 UTC 
Still can't reproduce.
Closing until we get a report on 0.12.0.

*** Bug 86855 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 19 Charles Kerr 2002-07-04 22:26:46 UTC 
Closing old NEEDINFO reports.

Given the lack of new information on this bug, I suspect
it's fixed in newer versions.
