NSD from crash-Does anyone know what cause this type of crash?

0x40792de5: fatal_error + 0x12d (b, 471c4a68, 471c4ae8, 0, 8622a98, 84fca30)0x401efb03: pthread_sighandler_rt + 0x63 (b, 471c4a68, 471c4ae8, b, 0, 1) + 378

0x42279dc0: __libc_sigaction + 0x120 (84fca30, 47825410, 471c4e0c, 401ee05b, 47800430, 42368f54)

I know this does not show much from the NSD. I am just wondering why I see the pthread_sighandler_rt and __libc_sigaction just before the crash and what can cause a crash like this?

Hi Larry,

It’s a CD to MIME conversion issue, there is a technote about it :

Problem

Attempts to access a mail file via an IMAP client results in a Domino server crash on Linux. Opening the same mail file from a Notes client or Web mail results in no crash. Additionally, if a user sends an iCal message from a Domino server to a Smart Host via SMTP, the Domino server crashes when the server attempts to relay the message via SMTP to the Smart Host.

Solution

This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR #CPAN64F5EK and a fix is being researched. Please contact IBM Technical Support as a test fix may be available. This crash was identified as a CD to Mime conversion issue.

From the Console log:

Begin CD to MIME Conversion(Process: IMAP Server (00002BB7:00000009), Database: /local/notesdata/mail/xxx.nsf, Note: 000009F2)

The crash stack is the following:

Thanks Christian. I seen this same technote and was still left wondering if even though the crashes looked the same as to whether or not they were the same. I was thinking it could still possibly be caused by something else. But if you are sure that those two lines are definitely related to this problem then I guess I will have to wait for a solution.

My crash occurred because of a different program which is not an IMAP client or iCAL. But maybe this produt is not known by iBM to be having this problem and maybe it is calling this sam cd to mime conversion in the same way that causes the crash. It is possible though be cause the function is used extensively.
