| i recently switched servers, and my mud came up with a wierd crash that has to do with the select() function in the game_loop(). i am guessing since i cannot find anyone other thread about this, and considering how long this code has been running, both the stock smaug 1.4 code and my modified code as well, it should have come up. i am left to conclude that this is a server issue. the server i am on has a timeout issue where it will cut a connection if nothing is being read/written to the server, since this is the only server i have been on with that issue, my guess is its that. here is the backtrace i get at the time of crash:
Final Point:
#7 0x080a9f16 in fgetf (s=0x82a7b80 "", n=1077354484, iop=0x0)
at
handler.c:5233
5233 break;
Steps leading up to this point:

| | Did you remember to enable proper gdb settings on the server? Increase the core size, etc. |

| | Actually it looks to me like your memory is corrupted somehow. It got a 'term' signal while calling select, and then crashed when generating the stack trace. |

| # Set limits.
nohup
nice
limit stacksize unlimited
limit coredumpsize unlimited
also, technically i am not getting a core dump, that is an in game backtrace at the time that exit is called.
static void SigTerm( int signum )
{
...
make_note("Personal", sysdata.mud_name, "Admin", "Crash Detected, Resulting Backtrace Report", 30, make_backtrace() );
