rtorrent crashing

Hello guys,

for the past few days, rtorrent has been crashing intermittently (just a few seconds after starting it). I saw an ncurses related bug, which was crashing rtorrent, but it isn't involved in my case, as i only today upgraded to the latest ncurses (which also has a patch to fix the crash).

Here's a backtrace

(gdb) backtrace
#0  0xb7fe1424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()

) at main.cc:321

Anyone else seen this problem?

Also rtorrent leaves this at the terminal after the crash

** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/rtorrent: corrupted double-linked list: 0x0834f550 ***

Re: rtorrent crashing

I have installed rtorrent on my server past weekend, and it is running smoothly as we speak. Reinstall rtorrent?

Re: rtorrent crashing

It's been crashing for me too last week. It's been running for a couple a days without problems. I don't know what it was, but I've modified the deamon shell script that starts the process to write everything to a file. So the next time it happens, I'll be able to see the error output.
