Hi.

I had no luck setting up ElectricFence.

Now my question is, the application dies with either free() or realloc()
errors and sig Abort.

However it does not produce a core dump, even when i run it in gdb, gdb
either dies itself with sig abort or says something like "abort, process
went away". Is this normal, it seems that it SHOULD produce a core file.

Btw, the program is compiled with libpthread.

OS version is: 5.4-RELEASE-p6 SMP
Hardware is: DL360 G4 dual Xeon 3Ghz, 2G memory, 2x36G U320 drives in
RAID1 config.

This does not happend when running a UP kernel, only SMP.

Any pointers on why this is happening ?
