Another stacktrace</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>> (gdb) backtrace<BR>> #0 0x08f644c8 in
dice::ref2::MemoryPool::alloc ()<BR>> #1 0x08f64558 in
dice::ref2::MemoryPool::alloc ()<BR><BR>Just to update y'all:<BR><BR>As
you might have guessed, this is almost certainly a memory
corruption<BR>bug. The reason that almost all of the stacktraces end with
two calls to<BR>that alloc() method is because we keep a linked list of
MemoryPool<BR>objects, and if there isn't space in a given memory pool, we
call alloc()<BR>in the next pool in the linked list...but if we piddled
over memory we<BR>either corrupt the next pool or corrupt the pointer to
it, so it pukes,<BR>but not necessarily anywhere near where the actual
corruption occurred,<BR>depending on how big the memory pool was,
etc.<BR><BR>This is why some people are getting crashes and others aren't,
and why<BR>some people can play for ten minutes, some for an hour,
etc...and why I<BR>never crash. I've got a blessed box, apparently. But
rather than ship the<BR>server with an icon that reads, "Best Played On
Ryan's Development Box",<BR>I've decided to fix this. :)<BR><BR>In my
local tree, I've moved to a simpler form of memory allocation so I<BR>can
track down the problem(s). Among other things, it'll let me<BR>run the
thing through valgrind and get more meaningful results.<BR><BR>More
updates when I have them...may not be tonight. Again, thank you
for<BR>your patience; I'm trying to fix this "codesalat" as quickly as I
can.<BR><BR>--ryan.<BR><BR><BR>.</TD>
