1. /MODUNLOAD causes cores: |
5 |
< |
- If a module is modified before being unloaded, /MODUNLOAD (and |
6 |
< |
therefore /MODRELOAD) may cause a core. |

– |
This problem is caused by the behaviour of the OS, which treats |
9 |
– |
shared libraries differently to executables (modifying the ircd |
10 |
– |
binary whilst it is running would also cause a core, but is denied |
11 |
– |
by the OS). There is no way to fix this at the application level, |
12 |
– |
and fixing the OS to do the right thing is also difficult. |
13 |

|
14 |
– |
A workaround to avoid coring is possible however. To install new |
15 |
– |
modules, first remove or rename the old module, then copy/move the |
16 |
– |
new file into place. /MODUNLOAD will then work successfully. |

|
18 |
– |
Alternatively, running ./configure with the --disable-shared-modules |
19 |
– |
argument will link all the commands statically, losing the advantages |
20 |
– |
of upgrading at runtime, but reducing the chances of accidentally |
21 |
– |
coring your server. |

2. Solaris stock 32bit stdio is limited to 256 fds. This breaks when using |
24 |
– |
cryptlinks. |
