Summary0001192: Zandronum forkbombs Mac OS X
DescriptionWhen I'm sometimes playing Zandronum on Mac, my game will lock up and stop responding. If I check the terminal or activity monitor, I'll see that there's 1,000 "zandronum" processes and counting. My entire system quickly stops responding because it's getting forkbombed, but eventually if I "killall -9 zandronum", it'll come back.

I'm not sure if the forkbombing is the cause of the problem or something that happens after an initial hang or crash of the game. Is there some sort of automatic crash reporting process or something that might be getting stuck in a loop?

 You would probably need to see the frequency in which Zandronum processes start and how long it takes for the forkbombing to happen. I can't think of a reason it should be forking off hand. The only code I'm aware of that does forking is the timidity code and the crash handler.

If the forkbombing starts as soon as it locks up then it's the crash handler. Otherwise if it happens over time it might be something in the sound code.

 I've accidentally encountered the same problem and it happened only after the game crashed, so it probably might be the crash handler?

 It's definitely the crash handler. Looks like it can be fixed by just using the crash handler from the latest ZDoom.

 Your proposed patch reverts the changes I made to these files (like logging the GCC version, not bothering the server with a window, using GAMENAMELOWERCASE instead of zdoom). Can you make a patch that keeps these changes?

 Regarding the GCC version, did you mean GDB version? ZDoom appears to have removed the GCC version dumping, so do you want me to keep the GDB version dumping or also restore the GCC line?

 Yeah, I was referring to the GDB version. I didn't know though that ZDoom removed the GCC version. Was there a technical reason for this? If not, it would be great to have both back. If this causes technical problems, I'd say we can live without this.

 Thanks for your updated patch! I just pulled it. Should be tested in the next beta build.

 Testing the alpha, I've re-created the crash from issue 0001073.

Success! No forkbombing in this one, lead straight to an error message (see attachment).
