  34 <PRE>Hello;
  35
  36 I would suggest contacting Unreal coders also.
  37 It looks like that services is sending a line, where unreal does expect
  38 more parameteres than recevied. It probably goes through the code and
  39 because of the missing parameter, it cores. (NULL pointer
  40 reference)
  41
  42 You either have a coredump of the ircd, of which a backtrace would show
  43 up which line was in a matter of being parsed, or you have the
  44 services.log and you might see, if run with -debug, which was the last
  45 line services sent, before the ircd cored.
  46
  47 With the help of a small fix in this case, Unreal will solve the problem
  48 in their next beta version. But if you do not contact them...
  49
  50 You must also admit, that ircservices is not the source of the problem,
  51 but the wrong coding in unreal ircd. This means, even if ircservices
  52 will find a way not to cause this, the problem with the ircd would
  53 persist. There are other ways (like RAW) which can be used to cause the
  54 core. Because in general, no irc protocol message should lead into a
  55 segfaulting ircd.
  56
  57 So again, you also ought to contact Unreal coders, so that they can
  58 solve the problem for the next beta version.
  59

  61 yusuf

  81 </I>&gt;<i> I dunno if this prob has been delt with b4.. i'm testing
  82 </I>&gt;<i> beta24, downloaded
  83 </I>&gt;<i> about an hour ago.. got it connected to my Unreal3.2-beta7
  84 </I>&gt;<i> server, worked a
  85 </I>&gt;<i> dream.. found something i hadnt configured right, did an
  86 </I>&gt;<i> operserv shutdown..
  87 </I>&gt;<i> and b000m the IRCd dies. AFAIK its not segfaulting, or giving
  88 </I>&gt;<i> a valid reason
  89 </I>&gt;<i> for the shutdown.. it just does. I thought i would report
  90 </I>&gt;<i> this here instead
  91 </I>&gt;<i> of to the Unreal ppl, cause Services are causeing the prob :)
  92 </I>&gt;<i> ne help appreaciated!
