Hello Andrei, all, On my git master installations, Kamailio segfaults on logging "Thanks for flying Kamailio" on shutdown (backtrace below). A bisection on the repository pointed to the following commit as the culprit: commit 7b3a6eca7bb6dd1ca2a1395ca1e5821808ec85cd Author: Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul &lt;andrei(a)iptel.org&gt; Date: Tue Apr 12 21:54:07 2011 +0200 core: pkg mem size configurable form the cmd line The pkg mem size used can be configured by using the "-M" parameter on the command line, e.g.: ser -M 8 -f test.cfg # start ser with 8mb of pkg memory The default remains 4Mb. The following patch works around the issue, but maybe someone more knowledgable in this part of the code can create a real fix. commit 73cbfbba811b964b6a8db1096d97b4af503c030a Author: Alex Hermann &lt;alex(a)speakup.nl&gt; Date: Thu Sep 1 14:07:59 2011 +0200 core: disable logging on shutdown after killing children, causing segfault diff --git a/main.c b/main.c index 45f0a6a..28adbe0 100644 --- a/main.c +++ b/main.c @@ -701,7 +701,6 @@ void handle_sigs() DBG("SIGTERM received, program terminates\n"); /* shutdown/kill all the children */ shutdown_children(SIGTERM, 1); - LOG(L_NOTICE, "Thank you for flying " NAME "\n"); exit(0); break; Backtrace: Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/kamailio -f /home/alex/balancer/kamailio.cfg -m 64 -M 6 -u'.
