   Aardvark to All   
   Broken Pan   
   23 Jun 12 01:45:54   
   
   From: aardvark@aardvark.uk.tc   
      
   Mandriva 2011, KDE, MIB kernel, Pan 0.135.   
      
   There must have been a power surge or something today as I was reading   
   NGs in Pan. My computer all of a sudden just rebooted, as did my modem   
   and routers.   
      
   On getting back to the desktop, I tried to open Pan, but nothing   
   happened. Trying to run it from konsole in debug mode gives me the   
   following:   
      
   [aardvark@aardvark2 ~]$ pan --debug   
   (article-cache.cc:175:ArticleCache) loaded 135 articles into cache from   
   /home/aardvark/.pan2/article-cache   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   (task-article.cc:316:use_decoder) decoder thread was free, enqueued work   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   (queue.cc:233:process_task) in process_task with a task of type SAVE   
   Segmentation fault   
      
   I followed that with an strace, the last few lines of which before the   
   seg fault give me the following:   
      
   mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,   
   0) = 0xb77cf000   
   read(6, "jr8gei$9dk$14"..., 4096) = 90   
   read(6, "", 4096)                       = 0   
   read(6, "", 4096)                       = 0   
   close(6)                                = 0   
   munmap(0xb77cf000, 4096)                = 0   
   getcwd("/home/aardvark", 4096)             = 12   
   clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC,     
   +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++   
   Segmentation fault   
      
   Can anyone give me any idea of what might be going on here, or what I   
   can do to get Pan running again? Pan *will* run if I use su, but when it   
   starts, it looks like a pristine Pan- asking for server and user info.
