Summary0003555: Escaping units with kill orders on them cause segmentation fault on Linux/Mac
DescriptionWhen a kobold thief is spotted and runs for a map edge, if a kill order is placed on the kobold thief the game segmentation faults when the kobold thief leaves the map. I reproduced this three times with 31.17, but was unable to reproduce it with 31.16
Steps To Reproduce1. Create world, embark, begin regular play.
2. Wait until a kobold thief is spotted and it runs for the map edge.
3. Select a military squad and set kill order on thief. (You may want to give the thief a lead depending on your military)
4. If the thief reaches the map edge and 'escapes' the game segmentation faults.

I can't reproduce this. If there's a save where it is about to happen or such a save could be created and uploaded to the DF File Depot or wherever, that would likely help a lot.

Toady, I have a save where this happens reliably with a squad of Goblin ambushers. In this save, the goblin is about to leave the top edge, but it also happened when I drove them off to the left, from which they arrived.

31.18 on Ubuntu 32 10.04

This is my first fortress, don't judge me.

Just happened to me in .18, on Debian 5.0 i386. It left a core file but the backtrace was pretty useless-looking:

(gdb) bt
#0 0x0886a9c0 in ?? ()
#1 0x08a5ac55 in ?? ()
#2 0x00000041 in ?? ()
#3 0x0000000b in ?? ()
#4 0x00ffffff in ?? ()
#5 0x00000011 in ?? ()
#6 0x00000000 in ?? ()

I deleted the core file at that point, since it was 700 MB.

Specifically, my dwarves were chasing the kobold thief, got distracted by a second one, killed him, then ALMOST caught up to the first one before he escaped off the top of the map.

Reminder sent to: Toady One

Hey Toady -- as requested, a save was posted for this one. This report and all of the (probable) duplicates are using Linux, so it might not show up in Windows.

This has been happening to me with kobold ambushers, near the edge of the map, always with kill orders on them. I've seen nothing but kobolds and forgotten beasts so I haven't been able to test if other unit types trigger the crash.

I'm on df_linux .18, ubuntu 10.10 32 bit.

In this savegame kobold is ready to leave map. As soon as he is out the game crashes.

Tested on Gentoo, 0.31.18

Same issue with v0.31.17
mac osx 10.6.4

If my military set kill order on a kobold, when he leaves the map, game crashes hard:

Can provide save file if it is of interest. As a work around, I guess I shouldn't try and kill thieves? :/

same issue
also with a kobold thief, just when the thief is able to run out of the map border
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3080927/region1.7z [^]
happens about 10-20 minutes in game (forgot to save to a closer time)

I just ran in to this issue as well, after driving off a raiding party.
Running 0.31.18 on Ubuntu 10.10 Natively.

The save is right at the point several goblins, both raiders and thief's and think even some snatchers try to run off from my 'army'.

Thankfully, I'd auto-save on seasonal so it could not have picked a better spot.

I'm getting the same with 31.18 on mac with the same "no pool in place - just leaking" errors and segfault. I've had kill orders on some groundhogs and various other animals, so as mentioned, it's not just on goblin/kobold thieves, but any old thing that runs off the map while there is a kill order on it.

I get the same issue on Mac - kill target running off map causes no pool in place - just leaking crash. I'm still new, so not sure how to set up autosave, I just keep making new fortresses lol

I am getting this as well.

31.8 under Linux.

I just let a kobold run off the screen, and got a segfault.

However, second time through, I took the kill order off before he left the screen, and no crash. It only happens if the kill order is in place when they leave.

In 31.16 the unit would just be left "unable to fulfill order" until you noticed it and canceled the kill order manually. Now it crashes.

Same or similar problem with 31.18 under Ubuntu 10.10 x64. Mine seems to segfault any time a kill order is assigned if the target tries to run, they don't have to make it to the map edge, just far enough for my militia to give up.

Same as tracyam, though it segfaulted the instant I gave the kill order.

Just had this happen on 31.18 in Ubuntu 10.10. Segfault immediately as the kobold left the map. No "no pool in place" errors.

"No pool in place" is a Mac thing, referring to the NSAutoreleasePool object used for managing memory allocations. It doesn't specifically have any relevance to this bug; the messages are likely just a side effect of all the other badness going on.

Fast/easy reproduction: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3687 [^]

This is a fortress saved a few steps before an attack-designated kobold exits the map. After unpause, it will crash within a few seconds on a Mac. (But runs fine on Windows).

Yeah, playing on a mac, at least I am not the first to find it, makes me feel better. Has happened every time I send someone to chase down the beastie and it runs away like brave, brave Sir Robin.

The issue is definitely present on 0.31.19 running Ubuntu 10.04.

Seems to be any creature that flees from contact. Gremlins, in particular, are a unit I've experienced it against.

Speculation: I would say that the reason this crash happens on Linux and not windoze is because the Linux kernel (also used by mac osx) is a lot more strict with segfaults than windoze, but the actual underlying problem is the same.

Toady, I'm guessing that when a unit leaves the map, you delete/free* the object, but the squad still references it, and tries to get something (perhaps its name) from it, and so it segfaults.

Just a guess, but hope it helps you in the correct direction.


Windows users: what do you see when you have a squad targeting a unit that leaves the map? What do you see in your squad screen? Does it still say "kill x"?



* What programming language are you using, anyway?

Just had the crash on Ubuntu. DF v0.31.19. Noticed a goblin survived an ambush and issued a kill order for all my squads. As soon as the gobbo left the map the game window disappeared. Terminal message "Segmentation fault".

Happens in 0.31.21: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3920 [^]

In this save, there's a kill order on a goblin thief. When he escapes, the game crashes. I have managed to reproduce this reliably.

So how are players adapting? Do we just have to be careful about kill orders for a while until a bug fix in an upcoming update, or is there something we can mod now so there's no segfault?

(I'm sorry if this is obvious, but my geekery is in 17th century lit instead of programming.)

I would imagine canceling the order when the kobold gets close to the edge would do it. Or just use move orders.
(0016131)
Infiltrator   
2011-03-11 18:48   
Yeah; until this bug is fixed I just don't issue kill orders on anything near the edge and savescum just before combat in case I get a crash and have to revert to a save a season ago. :P

I am using move orders at this time; however, since I haven't gotten my military to a point where they can kill a butterfly it doesn't make much difference.
