0003863: dumps core when run under SMF control on SPARC
running under SMF control gives, in /var/svc/log/network-cswfetchmail:default.log, the following error:

[ Aug 20 12:00:36 Executing start method ("/var/opt/csw/svc/method/svc-cswfetchmail start") ]
Starting the fetchmail daemon using /opt/csw/etc/fetchmailrc
fetchmail: WARNING: Running as root is discouraged.
fetchmail: removing stale lockfile
[ Aug 20 12:00:36 Method "start" exited with status 0 ]
[ Aug 20 12:00:39 Stopping because process dumped core. ]

[ Aug 20 12:00:39 Method "stop" exited with status 0 ]

In the /var/log/syslog file we have:
Aug 20 12:01:51 abhavana fetchmail[26807]: [ID 260362 mail.info] starting fetchmail 6.3.11 daemon

each second...

The /opt/csw/etc/fetchmailrc file contains:

set syslog
set daemon 60
poll...

Note that it worked before the upgrade to 6.3.11,REV=2009.08.08

When starting manually:

/opt/csw/bin/fetchmail -f /opt/csw/etc/fetchamailrc

it doesn't dump core.

I am unable to reproduce this. fetchmail is running for me on Solaris 10 Sparc. Please supply more information to help find the problem.

New version 6.3.12 released. Does this make any difference? It's running on Solaris 10 Sparc for me. Any other clues?

We are now on 6.3.13 and this report was made 2 versions ago. Does the problem still exist?

not in my current configuration. however, note that depending on what the configuration is we can have a quite eratic behaviour. unfortunately I don't have the time to dig this more than that.

How about we close this bug and if you get a concrete failure example you can always open another case.
