So we've been testing out a big ETL and it crashed again, and now every time we start mserver5 it will seemingly start up ok but as soon as mclient connects it will crash. I've generated a core dump. The db farm is 3.6GB and the core dump is 15MB. I can send either to someone if they need it to look further into the issue. The platform is 2.6.20-15-generic (root@yellow) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #2 SMP on amd64. It's running an unmodified SR5 superball that we compiled ourselves. I tried looking at strace and the --debug option with all of the flags on but it didn't produce anything that looked very interesting. The backtrace is here: Core was generated by `//mochi/bin/mserver5 --dbname=mochiads_stats --dbinit=include sql; --dbfarm=/da'.
