Bug#664637: openarena-server: AAS shutdown server fatal crashed

[Markus Koschany]

fixed 664637 0.8.8-5
thanks


Hello,

well, i didn't follow my own advise and continued to monitor the
openarena server.


1. I think the "AAS shutdown"-bug is valid for the stable version but
not for wheezy anymore. In fact now the server crashes if only human
players play on it, last recently with seven players on oa_dm5.
Therefore i think that the bugs which i observed are different and i
will open another report as soon as i have more information.

2. I would like to debug this issue or at least gather a useful debug
output from the server but i struggle with the preparations.

- I have installed gdb, ioquake3-dbg and openarena-dbg packages.
- I have set OPENARENA_BACKTRACE=1 in /etc/default/openarena-server
- I have edited /etc/init.d/openarena-server like that
	
	//user permissions are Debian-openarena:games
	LOGFILE="/home/user/openarena.log"

	start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --oknodo \
        --background --exec $BINARY --startas $DAEMON \
        --make-pidfile --chuid $USER \
        -- $DAEMON_OPTS > $LOGFILE 2>&1 || return 1

Unfortunately the daemon doesn't log anything in $LOGFILE. I missed
something but i don't know what.

What is the appropriate way to debug the openarena server?

Thanks!

Markus
