Wednesday, January 08, 2003Ours But to Do or Die
I spent the morning trying to determine what was preventing some file uploads. Looks like PEBKAC, resolved by removing the permission to write. Turns out that there's an issue in the FTP server that does not handle filenames which contain backslashes (\) well. For some reason it SEGFAULTed trying to fork() other children while the first-fork()ed child tried to write. Maybe our Crack Debugging Team in their Copious Free Time will determine the reason why.3:40:53 PM # Google It!
