Summary0001083: [W] Crash every four hours
DescriptionUnrealircd crashes every 4 hours on my windows2000 server. i get the following:
The application, , generated an application error The error occurred on 06/27/2003 @ 23:38:36.921 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 77FCB836 (RtlFreeHeap)

from what i understand rtlfreeheap is an error that is trying to release the same memory twice, although i'm not a coder or debugger.
Steps To Reproduceturn on server, wait about 4 hours.

What does service.log in the Unreal directory say?

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
* unrealircd.conf:780: set::scan: WARNING: scanner support has been removed, use BOPM instead: http://www.blitzed.org/bopm/ (*NIX) / http://vulnscan.org/winbopm/ (Windows)



Also i would like to add this server doubles as a terminal server(1 client only). I plan on removing the terminal services to see if it helps this problem. I've had terminal server mess up other applications i've tried to run.

I removed terminal server and its the same news :(. Sometimes it happens even sooner though...the four hours is just a "usual" mark. It just recently crashed after about 1 hour 15 minutes

I add'd the dont-resolve option that i read in one of the other bugposts. My server has been up for 8 hours now i will keep you informed.

When ircd resovles hosts i'm assuming it uses the dns entries in the tcp/ip properties in win2k. I'm running my own dns server with forwarders to my isp's dns servers. I'll try switchign that out after the server is running for a couple of days and i'll remove the dont-resolve and i will keep you posted.

** Massclose of random windows crashes **
This is now explained at the bugs.unrealircd.org mainpage:

Windows: there are multiple resolver bugs in the windows version which make it crash after a while.. usually after 1 or a few days. This is nothing new, that bug has been in windows versions for a looong time, if you want a stable ircd we suggest you to use *NIX. There's a workaround however: you can disable dns lookups for clients by putting the following in your unrealircd.conf: set { options { dont-resolve }; };
