Known Bugs worthy of a mention:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. /MODUNLOAD causes cores:
- If a module is modified before being unloaded, /MODUNLOAD (and
therefore /MODRELOAD) may cause a core.
This problem is caused by the behaviour of the OS, which treats
shared libraries differently to executables (modifying the ircd
binary whilst it is running would also cause a core, but is denied
by the OS). There is no way to fix this at the application level,
and fixing the OS to do the right thing is also difficult.
A workaround to avoid coring is possible however. To install new
modules, first remove or rename the old module, then copy/move the
new file into place. /MODUNLOAD will then work successfully.
Alternatively, running ./configure with the --disable-shared-modules
argument will link all the commands statically, losing the advantages
of upgrading at runtime, but reducing the chances of accidentally
coring your server.
BUG REPORTS: If you run this code and encounter problems, you must report
the bug in by E-MAIL to [email protected]
Please include a gdb backtrace and keep your binaries, modules and core file
in case the developers need more information.
