etserver crashing on std:bad_alloc about eternalterminal

[MisterTea]

what command did you use?

[burgalon]

i'm using regular connect et username@server and usually connected with tmux -CC a.
After a night it would usually crash

[MisterTea]

Looks like a memory leak. Can you get a stack trace where the exception is thrown? Also can you watch the memory usage and see whether it's creeping up?

[burgalon]

how can I make the etserver output stack trace?

[MisterTea]

Is that crash happening on the client or server?

[burgalon]

server

[MisterTea]

Can you try running the server under gdb? On the actual machine (or in a mosh server):

sudo systemctl stop et
sudo gdb -ex run --args etserver --cfgfile /etc/et.cfg

That will run etserver inside gdb. Then when it crashes, you'll be able to type bt -a and get a backtrace

[burgalon]

it's possible that the bad_alloc, was actually caused by the OS running out of memory... I'm still trying to figure this out

Closing since the issue was OOM on the machine
