Package: centericq Version: 4.20.0-2 Severity: normal I've been using centericq happily. Still works for IRC, icq and AOLim. MSN connections fail since Friday -- centericq locks up. I ran an strace and saw that centericq opens a connection to login.passport.com, then opens a handle to /dev/urandom, and reads from /dev/urandom endlessly. I thought maybe it just needed entropy, but it doesn't stop after four hours of reading /dev/urandom.
Wish I could attach the entire strace here... here's a few dozen lines, let me know if you need more. --- munmap(0x40927000, 4096) = 0 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4 connect(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("216.126.88.2")}}, 28) = 0 send(4, "\364\315\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\003198\003179\00254\00265"..., 44, 0) = 44 gettimeofday({1112206979, 914290}, NULL) = 0 poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 1, 5000) = 1 ioctl(4, 0x541b, [254]) = 0 recvfrom(4, "\364\315\201\200\0\1\0\1\0\5\0\5\003198\003179\00254\002"..., 1024, 0, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("216.126.88.2")}}, [16]) = 254 close(4) = 0 time([1112206980]) = 1112206980 gettimeofday({1112206980, 19878}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1112206980, 20058}, NULL) = 0 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 4 fcntl64(4, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) fcntl64(4, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 connect(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(443), sin_addr=inet_addr("65.54.183.198")}}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress) poll([{fd=4, events=POLLOUT, revents=POLLOUT}], 1, 150000) = 1 getsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR, [0], [4]) = 0 gettimeofday({1112206980, 207668}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1112206980, 207866}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/dev/urandom", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0444, st_rdev=makedev(1, 9), ...}) = 0 open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY) = 5 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0444, st_rdev=makedev(1, 9), ...}) = 0 ioctl(5, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE, 0xbfffbc84) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40927000 read(5, "\302\226N\t\27:\344\215hIO\335\10\350\235\354}g\326\210"..., 4096) = 4096 read(5, "\340\367q\270\7\16\36\237%]\f\250W\376\326\272\336\225"..., 4096) = 4096 --- ...and the read calls never stop -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (80, 'unstable'), (50, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7 Locale: LANG=en_CA, LC_CTYPE=en_CA Versions of packages centericq depends on: ii centericq-commo 4.20.0-2 A text-mode multi-protocol instant ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcurl3 7.13.1-0.backports.org.2 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libgcc1 1:3.4.2-2 GCC support library ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-9 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libgpg-error0 1.0-1 library for common error values an ii libgpgme11 1.0.2-1 GPGME - GnuPG Made Easy ii libidn11 0.5.2-3 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libjpeg62 6b-5 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7a-1 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1.1-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
