[syslog-ng] v3.9: Core dump on python module

[Clayton Dukes]

My last email bounced, making sure you got this:

I tested with both. Neither work on U16.
The server was originally on 3.9 when it happened, so I tried downgrading to 3.8. Still didn't work.

Hi,

Is it 3.8 or 3.9? Your title says 3.9 but your gdb trace shows 3.8. As 3.9 has tons of bugfixes over 3.8, I'd recommend trying 3.9.
Bye,

Confirmed: I installed Ubuntu 14 on that server and it works as expected, so it's got something to do with U16.

No idea if this helps - I'm not a programmer ;) -  but here's a gdb output. Happy to provide the core file also if you want (it's only 5MB)

Looks like this is happening with 3.8.1-3 as well :(
Only difference I can see if Ubuntu 14 vs 16?
Any ideas of what I can try?

Hey guys, just want you to know Ubuntu16 is dumping core on loading the python module.
Ubuntu14 does not do this.
