| |
There is a very strange bug in 2.1.130, BitchX 75p1 (Yes i know it has nothing to do with bitchx besides it causes the bug) When ever a dcc send it made after the connection, after a few seconds of sending. All tcp/ip data stops. (pppd needs to be restarted) Ping ect, I tested this on two other machines and they do the exact same thing. It does not do it in 2.1.131, The only reason this wasn't reported earlier is I thought
it was fixed due to obscure bug in ipv4 on 2.1.130, i talked to the author of the patch and he says that should not be relevant., and prodded me to post this.
So in short here is the problem: on three verified machines all apparently upgraded correctly (two where mine one was a random person) BitchX 75p1 (Must be this version, if it helps it was compiled from the sources instead of a binary) After a dcc send, all tcp/ip data stops, this includes ping, ect. acts brain dammaged it is physically connected but no ip io. pppd must be restarted.
Things its not: BitchX does not have root privileges, so its corrupting kernel space from user space.
I do have straces available if anyone, cares to see them, I don't have any personal experience debugging the kernel. (just my stuff)
P.S If this is something stupid on my side I do apologize in advance.
