[bug-mailutils] imap4d aborts

[Ken Brown]

Starting with commit 87e06f7 (Rewrite TLS support), imap4d fails as
follows:

$ ./imap4d.exe --version
INTERNAL ERROR: Requested unknown canned section tls
Aborted (core dumped)

[This is on Cygwin; I haven't tried it on any other platform.]

Running imap4d under gdb, I see the following:

#0 0x00000005f7e51881 in mu_assoc_get (assoc=0x60007e910,
name=0x1004183e1 "tls") at assoc.c:325
#1 0x00000005f7e6f099 in mu_get_canned_container (name=0x1004183e1 "tls")
at driver.c:91
#2 0x00000005f7e6f4e4 in mu_cfg_section_add_params (sect=0x600083db0,
param=0x100415ad8 <imap4d_srv_param+56>) at driver.c:260
#3 0x00000005f7eaab80 in mu_m_server_cfg_init (srv=0x600083830,
app_param=0x100415aa0 <imap4d_srv_param>) at msrv.c:998
#4 0x0000000100408956 in main (argc=2, argv=0xffffcc10) at imap4d.c:1005

The call to mu_assoc_get returns NULL because assoc_find_slot doesn't
find "tls". Shouldn't something be done to create the "tls" section
before mu_get_canned_container is called?

There's no such commit in git master. The one you are referring
to has the following SHA1: afda9ba46c7eb2c061f3907dc7e80ae1ba38157b.
It is linked against an older versiobn of the libmu_auth.so

Sorry, I forgot that I was working in a local branch, including the
commits needed for building on Cygwin.

I'm not sure how that could have happened, but I'll investigate further.
Thanks for the quick response.

I found the problem. The patch
0003-Fix-undefined-symbols-errors-on-Cygwin.patch that I submitted in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-mailutils/2017-03/msg00014.html
was wrong and caused strange behavior. I'll submit a revised patch to
that thread shortly. Sorry for the noise.
