sem_open causes segmentation fault
807567Jul 25 2004 — edited Jul 30 2004Hi folks.
We have an application using named semaphores to synchronize between 2 processes.
Last week, our server crashed, and since that event, each time we try running tha application, it causes a segmentation fault (on the sem_create/sem_open).
I tried changing the name used for the semaphore, and the application could start, but a segmentation fault occured when the client was trying to do sem_post().
It seems like last week's crash /reboot messed somthing with the system. Does anyone have an idea on what it could be?
