[Serusers] Strange SER hanging problem

[Chris]

Had a similar issue in getting trying to get diagnostic output rather than
the uninformative segmentation error.
Found that starting with 
--> "serctl start" or 
--> "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ser start" 
gave no useful output (i.e. just the segmentation error)
but starting the real ser directly gave the debug info.
Presumably this is by design but I had not seen mention in the
documentation.
Cheers
Chris

Jiri,
Thanks for the advice.  However, I've already tried this - I meant 
to have already told you this.  I've toggled between debug 7 and 
debug 3, as well as fork yes and no, and log_stderror yes and no.  
I've also put random comments in the file to see if ser complains. 
 Doesn't make a difference at all.  Still hangs.  Your help is 
much appreciated.  What do you think I should try next in order to 
identify where the problem is?  Here is a clip from the top of 
ser.cfg, from what I last tried.

<SNIP>
# ----------- global configuration parameters 
------------------------

blah blah Please parse this file
#debug=3         # debug level (cmd line: -dddddddddd)
#fork=yes
#log_stderror=no        # (cmd line: -E)

debug=7
#debug=3
fork=no
log_stderror=no

blah
</SNIP>



Try increasing log level and sending us the log output -- we may 
then
perhaps see where it is hanging. If that does not get us any 
further,
phase II will be strace I guess.
