3.6.0.3: Unknown bug triggering abort signal

[tomreyn]

I just stumbled across a core file on summoner, badbod's server, which was created on February 18th. At this time the server was running 3.6.0.3. I do not know anything about what triggered it to be written, but at least we got a backtrace:

[softcoder]

Was there any capture on the console? There was some kind of exception caught and the text of that might help determine the cause.

[tomreyn]

There was, but unfortunately it was since overwritten. We'll need to write a script to redirect console output to a file, then rotate those files and install this on the gameservers. After all there is no better testing ground than the dedicated gamservers.
