Lighttpd

Hello,

i run lighttpd 1.4.9 on one of my servers (Suse Linux, 512 MB RAM) and had no problems with it for static content, php-fcgi and simple fast-cgi programs. But running it with a multi-threaded fastcgi application, only a few bytes output and a few apache benchmark requests like "ab2 -n 1000 -c 700 http://..." results in the following crash

lighttpd -D -f lighttpd.conf
2006-01-21 18:53:15: (log.c.75) server started
Segmentation fault

I wondered, because i already made apache benchmark tests with much much more concurrency and without a crash of lighttpd. They were serving static content or php-fcgi(!).

Requests with concurrency set to 1000 result in the same error, but you only need one try.

Ok, it could be the fcgi application. It's a simple modified descendant of the fcgi threaded.c example. But that shouldn't lead to a crash.

Thank you very much and greetings

Bernd
