<br>
I've been running quite happily for some time, then yesterday my web
pages refuse to update. <br>
<br>
hobbitlaunch.log reports:<br>
<blockquote>2009-07-01 01:00:06 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6<br>
</blockquote>
Here's the back trace:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>(gdb) bt<br>

</blockquote>
Further investigation reveals:<br>
<blockquote>#6 0x0804f7ff in generate_compactitems
(topstate=0xbfd4a334) at loaddata.c:422<br>
422 itm->members = (char *)malloc(3 +
strlen(members));<br>
(gdb) print members<br>
$1 = 0x0<br>
</blockquote>
Oddly enough, GDB refuses to print "itm" ('No symbol "itm" in current
context.') but from examining the source I have a strong suspicion that
this was caused when I added the COMPACT clause to this line:<br>
<blockquote>127.0.0.1 hobbit # bbd
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hobbit.sasser.ws/hobbit/">http://hobbit.sasser.ws/hobbit/</a> ssh
COMPACT:hobbit=bbd,bbgen,bbtest,hobbitd<br>
</blockquote>
Changing everything about COMPACT on that line gives no difference.
Removing the "COMPACT..." stuff and restarting xymon allows regen.<br>
