[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#361261: nagios-pgsql: main monitoring process dies intermittently

[Kurt Yoder]

Package: nagios-pgsql
Version: 2:1.3-cvs.20050402-12
Severity: important


Recently my main nagios process started crashing. After switching it to
foreground so I can see what's going on, I found this message after the
latest crash:

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x080a4820 ***
Aborted

The crashes seem to be almost random. Sometimes it will run for a week,
sometimes only 30 minutes.

This seemed to start happening after I installed some packages from
Debian's "testing" branch. Thereafter I also installed a "testing"
version of nagios in case it was due to a nagios<->glibc
incompatibility. However, the mysterious crashes continue.
