Hotboot crash - stumped again

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x000000000047e33c in accept_new (ctrl=-1) at comm.c:534
534 FD_SET( ctrl, &in_set );
Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install glibc-2.9-3.x86_64

Where crash originates:
---------------------------------------------------
void accept_new( int ctrl )
{
static struct timeval null_time;
DESCRIPTOR_DATA *d;
/* int maxdesc; Moved up for use with id.c as extern */

#if defined(MALLOC_DEBUG)
if ( malloc_verify( ) != 1 )
abort( );
#endif

/*
* Poll all active descriptors.
*/
FD_ZERO( &in_set );
FD_ZERO( &out_set );
FD_ZERO( &exc_set );
--> line 534 FD_SET( ctrl, &in_set );
maxdesc = ctrl;
newdesc = 0;
for ( d = first_descriptor; d; d = d->next )
{


where backtrace takes it---
/* signal( SIGSEGV, SegVio ); */
gettimeofday( &last_time, NULL );
current_time = (time_t) last_time.tv_sec;

/* Main loop */
while ( !mud_down )
{
accept_new( control );
accept_new( control2 );
accept_new( conclient);
// accept_new( conjava );


and of course it goes into game_loop


I'm not sure where to begin with this one at all :(

You don't want ctrl to be -1. You need to find out which of the control sockets is -1, and then either fix its creation or remove it from the checking logic.

Also, it's generally helpful if you use the 'code' forum tag to make things easier to read.

You got it! Fixed, thanks a lot!
