IUS memory corruption issues

stats: ====== INFORMIX-Universal Server Version 9.14.UC4 Solaris 2.5.1 web.3.32.UC1 This week I was designing/writing our own local flavor of memory checking routines wrapped around mi_alloc and mi_free to be used in C UDRs written here. To test it I would purposely write pass the buffer. I noticed that IUS does not behave well once one piece of memory allocated from the server (via mi_alloc) gets its bounds overrun. The server throws an exception something like: 16:17:41 Assert Failed: Memory block header corruption detected in mt_shm_malloc_segid 2 16:17:41 INFORMIX-Universal Server Version 9.14.UC4 16:17:41 Who: Session(17, informix@---.---.---, 262, 0) Thread(29, sqlexec, 0, 1) File: mtshpool.c Line: 2759 16:17:41 Results: Pool repaired It says it is repaird, but the server becomes unresponsive after this (cant onmode -yuk it) it just hangs there. Does anyone know if this is a bug filed with informix on this, or if there is a setting I need to set to make it respond better when a memory block become corrupted? Any discussions are welcomed on the subject. - Thomas Tatum 919-767-2129 ______________________________________________________________________ Stay connected with family and friends this holiday season and year-round with a FREE, easy-to-use Family Web Site.
