[net.bugs.4bsd] uucico is core-dumping

matt@oddjob.UUCP (Matt Crawford) (12/06/85)

Help!  In the past few weeks our uucico has been dying about
once per day of a SIGSEGV.  It is happening in pk1.c, routine
pkgetpack(), called from pkaccept(), called from pkread().

	static char sccsid[] = "@(#)pk1.c	5.1 (Berkeley) 7/2/83";
	...
	pkgetpack(ipk)
	struct pack *ipk;
	{
	...
			bp = pk->p_ipool;
			pk->p_ipool = (char **) *bp;
	...
	}

The SIGSEGV comes at the last assignment shown, presumably
because bp has the value 0x3d110f00 which, on a vax, does not
point to valid memory.  The memory locations near p_ipool have
not been clobbered.  The pk->p_state is RXMIT, if that helps.
This problem only started recently.  The binary of uucico is not
corrupted and there are no silo overrun messages.  Any ideas?
