Server seg fault after attempted internet game about space-nerds-in-space HOT 5 CLOSED

That's a weird looking backtrace. It looks like it's dying while trying to create the per_client_read_thread(), I think.

It might be here:

static void per_client_read_thread(void / struct game_client */ *client)
{
struct game_client *c = (struct game_client *) client;

    /* Wait for client[] array to get fully updated before proceeding. */
    client_lock();
    get_client(c);
    client_unlock(); <---- in here???

But actually, I don't think so. I don't think it's making it out of pthread_create() alive.

Hmm. That is a weird one. Kind of hard to debug without being able to reproduce it here.

Let me know if you get any more info about it, but right now the source of the problem is a mystery to me.

Old bug, but by chance, was this on Arch linux?

Wondering if it was the same as this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=484096

This was on Arch. Perhaps I can do some more testing soon.

The bug that @smcameron was describing can be fixed by installing the intel microcode and re-configuring grub.

sudo pacman -S intel-ucode

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I'm going to close this because it's rather old, and doesn't seem to be a reproducible or common problem and seems to have a plausible external cause identified. Feel free to re-open if need be.
