Hi Christopher,

It appears that something that the Alice plug-in (XrdxFtsOfs) is doing is 
causing this problem. Who's responsible for that code?

Andy

Subject: xrootd crashing within minutes after restart

Dear all,

at KIT we are experiencing the following problem: on two servers, xrootd
crashes all the time within minutes (usually <5 minutes) after restart.

The traceback always reads:

I have uploaded a dump to
http://www-ekp.physik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~jung/core.13189; we are using
xrootd version 2.9.1 build 20100510-1509.

Could you please have a look at it and help us to find the cause? Thank
you very much.


Best regards,

Christopher.
