  34 <PRE>As other people have posted, I seem to also have the seemingly random
  35 segfault followed by corrupted nickname database problem (Services is
  36 linked to Unreal). AFAICT nothing has happened nor any messages issued to
  37 services to trigger this so I assume it is during one of Services timed
  38 updates:
  39
  40 [ircservices.log] Services terminating: Segmentation fault
  41 [ircservices.log] IRC Services 5.0a33 starting up
  42 [ircservices.log] FATAL: database/version4: Invalid format in nick.db
  43
  44 Another seemingly random problem that I have seen once or twice in the past
  45 but almost every time I start services with this latest alpha is:
  46
  47 [ircservices.log] IRC Services 5.0a33 starting up
  48 [ircservices.log] sockets: [v]sockprintf() with NULL socket!
  49 [ircservices.log] sockets: [v]sockprintf() with NULL socket!
  50 [ircservices.log] sockets: [v]sockprintf() with NULL socket!
  51 [ircservices.log] sockets: [v]sockprintf() with NULL socket!
  52 [ircservices.log] sockets: [v]sockprintf() with NULL socket!
  53 [ircservices.log] sockets: [v]sockprintf() with NULL socket!
  54 [ircservices.log] sockets: [v]sockprintf() with NULL socket!
  55
  56 The number of socket errors varies from none to several.
  57
  58 While going through the logs since the upgrade and looking for possible
  59 causes, I came across the following during one startup:
  60
  61 [ircservices.log] nickserv/main: Expiring nickname jcat-buffy
  62 [ircservices.log] database/version4: Extension data found for nonexisting
  63 nick `jcat-buffy'
  64
  65 I guess this means that expiring of nicknames is not correctly cleaning up
  66 extension data. I am not sure what services will do with this now redundant
  67 extension data so maybe the message could be changed to include what has
  68 been done about it. E.g. &quot;database/version4: Deleting extension data found
  69 for nonexisting nick `jcat-buffy'&quot;.
  70
  71 I will be playing around with various things to try and get more info on
  72 the problems, but wanted to report them ASAP in case there is something
  73 obvious that could be causing them.
