Hello Fabrizio
We found that a core is produced if the function
XrdClientAdmin_c::XrdDirList(const char *dir)
is called and the directory for which we want to get the
listing is empty.
In this case the call to
adminst->DirList(dir, entries) in XrdClientAdmin_c::XrdDirList
returns an empty vector (entries) and the call
joinStrings(lst, entries);
crashes because joinStrings can not handle
an empty vector. At least that's what it looks to me.
The test program that I run is:
#include "XrdClient/XrdClient.hh"
#include "XrdClient/XrdClientAdmin_c.hh"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
XrdInitialize(argv[1], 2);
char *strans;
strans = XrdDirList("/prod/s1/s2/s3/s5");
cout << "answer : " << strans endl;
XrdTerminate();
}
and the core is:
(gdb) where
#0 0x005cbcdf in raise () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#1 0x005cd4e5 in abort () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

The xrootd version is 20041220-1337.
