Re: Named exiting due to assertion failure

Yes, but I am afraid of the version 8.3.1 vulnerabilities !
 
Somebody wrote the following:
 
This is a check in the code for a valid task state, whether you
view it as a crash or a deliberate failure due to a condition
that shouldn't arise is a philosophical question.
 
If you don't have multiple CPU's disable thread on the compile.
This should bypass the problem. "./configure --disable-threads"
(IIRC)
 
Since you are the first reporting here with a mainstream Linux
release my guess is you must have a wacky kernel, or some sort
of bizarre thread implementation..... Go on admit you fiddled
with something ;)
 
Thanks and regards
 
Jose
