I ran the fixhist script this afternoon and it didn't find
anything unusual. I traced the source of the segfault to the NGfind()
routing in ng.c of innd. It's only a 6-line function that operates on
the newsgroup hash table... I don't see anything in it that would all
of a sudden cause segfaults at least once an hour. :(
/*

NEWSGROUP *
NGfind(Name)
char *Name;
{
register char *p;
register int i;
register unsigned int j;
register NEWSGROUP **ngp;
char c;
NGHASH *htp;
/* SUPPRESS 6 *//* Over/underflow from plus expression */
NGH_HASH(Name, p, j);
htp = NGH_BUCKET(j);
for (c = *Name, ngp = htp->Groups, i = htp->Used; --i >= 0; ngp++)
if (c == ngp[0]->Name[0] && EQ(Name, ngp[0]->Name))
return ngp[0];
return NULL;
}
