Hello,
~ 1-2 week ago after update to (william-os4y-fapws3-d468475) server
starts to crash with:

python: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: double free or
corruption (!prev): 0x08c51b20 ***
python: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: realloc(): invalid
next size: 0x08cd5e98 ***
kernel: python[1925]: segfault at d ip b7477749 sp bffef460 error 4 in
libc-2.11.3.so[b7407000+140000]

have this issue when 10-15 request per second to django (nginx + 3 x
fapws3) with simple page (20 random row from 30k row postgresql db).

Hummm... interesting :-).

unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem with the ApacheBenchenmark.

Can you provide more details about the way to reproduce this problem?
Do you have a core dump to sent ?


Thanks

I've been able to reproduce the problem :-).
By simply running the test.py in tests/unitests (master branch)

But I've not yet found a solution to it. :-(.
Sounds to be linked to the str_append, but not sure.

What is strange is that the problem is quite difficult to reproduce.
For example not been able to have it under GDB, not possible to have
it with the code in python3 branch

Those days, my spare time is quite limited ... cannot promise a quick
solution :-(.

2-3 days ago set :

proxy_ignore_client_abort on;

in nginx there is no crashes any more.
The problem may be related with situation when client closes a
connection without waiting for a response.

Hi,


I've just pushed a Fix that remove those realloc functions.
On my system the problem does no more occurs.

But I don't have nginx :-(.
Your feedback is very welcome.


Thanks
