We are using nginx on Sparc, it’s Debian Linux stable Linux Sunium 2.6.26-2-sparc64 #1 Mon Jun 21 15:45:39 UTC 2010 sparc64 GNU/Linux We have Apache2 on port 88 as a single upstream, nginx is serving HTTP and HTTPS as well (ports 80 & 443). HTTP is working great, however HTTPS has some problems - every say 5th request is failed and empty page is served. Nginx logs are full of these error/warning messages: 2010/07/08 02:08:33 [alert] 479#0: worker process 704 exited on signal 10 \*\*\* glibc detected \*\*\* nginx: worker process: free(): invalid pointer: 0xfd64cf1c \*\*\* 2010/07/08 02:08:38 [alert] 479#0: worker process 705 exited on signal 6 2010/07/08 02:08:39 [alert] 479#0: worker process 706 exited on signal 10 2010/07/08 02:09:02 [alert] 479#0: worker process 714 exited on signal 11 2010/07/08 02:09:03 [alert] 479#0: worker process 732 exited on signal 10 2010/07/08 02:09:14 [alert] 479#0: worker process 736 exited on signal 10 \*\*\* glibc detected \*\*\* nginx: worker process: corrupted double-linked list: 0x000db1a8 \*\*\* 2010/07/08 02:09:44 [alert] 744#0: worker process 745 exited on signal 6 2010/07/08 02:09:57 [alert] 744#0: worker process 749 exited on signal 11 2010/07/08 09:23:35 [crit] 751#0: \*104 SSL\_write() failed (SSL: error:140D0114:SSL routines:SSL\_write:uninitial ized) while sending to client, client: 10.138.10.136, server: Sunium.Platon.SK, request: “GET --URL-- HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “–URL–”, host: “db.platon.sk”, referrer: “–URL–” 2010/07/08 09:23:35 [crit] 751#0: \*104 SSL\_shutdown() failed (SSL: error:140E0114:SSL routines:SSL\_shutdown:uni nitialized) while sending to client, client: 10.138.10.136, server: 0.0.0.0:443 2010/07/08 09:23:35 [alert] 744#0: worker process 751 exited on signal 11 2010/07/08 09:23:49 [alert] 744#0: worker process 1658 exited on signal 10 2010/07/08 09:23:49 [alert] 744#0: worker process 1659 exited on signal 11 \*\*\* glibc detected \*\*\* nginx: worker process: double free or corruption (out): 0x70445ad0 \*\*\* 2010/07/08 09:40:27 [alert] 744#0: worker process 1660 exited on signal 6 2010/07/08 09:45:33 [alert] 1907#0: worker process 1908 exited on signal 10 2010/07/08 09:45:34 [alert] 1907#0: worker process 1912 exited on signal 11 There are different signals, different errors, I tried to extract the most descriptive pattern. I know this is probably platform dependend, since we are using on many Intel servers without any problem. But my question is what to do next? Should I debug, or strace this or just simply send this to Debian package maintainer? I tried to upgrade nginx, OpenSSL, libssl, I tried several different combinations, but with no luck.

I double check (again) the problem and it show up on these versions: nginx\_0.6.32-3+lenny3\_sparc.deb nginx\_0.7.67-1\_sparc.deb Unfortunatelly I have not found SPARC version of nginx not affected with this ☹ But I tried. We switched back to Apache SSL, which I’m completelly not happy with. SSL configuration is messy, it’s big & fat, and also tens if not hundreds of our machines they all use nginx, except this single one. Yes, it is the only one on SPARC, all others are Intel:) Thanks – Ondrej JOMBIK Platon Technologies Ltd., Hlavna 3, Sala SK-92701 +421 903 PLATON - [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) - [http://platon.org](http://platon.org)
