I just tried to upgrade my tor exit node to 0.2.4.16-rc, and got this:
I rebuilt without bufferevents, and it hasn't crashed yet. (I also don't see the "Something tried to close an or_connection_t" warnings.)
Seems likely. This is a dup of bug https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7734 .
Indeed. (Though that bug doesn't report a segfault.)
When you started Tor, did you get this warning?
log_warn(LD_GENERAL, "Tor was compiled with the --enable-bufferevents " "option. This is still experimental, and might cause strange " "bugs. If you want a more stable Tor, be sure to build without " "--enable-bufferevents.");
I didn't notice it, but things scrolled by quickly.
(The bufferevent backend is not preferred in 0.2.3 or 0.2.4. Maybe 0.2.5 is where somebody hammers all the bugs out of it.)
Ah, I had been under the mistaken impression it was good in 0.2.4. No worries.
Thanks,
