Summary: oracle lookup segfaults on x86-64
Product: Exim
Version: 4.66
Platform: x86-64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Lookups
AssignedTo: ph10@???
ReportedBy: jsc@???
QAContact: exim-dev@???
The Oracle lookup segfaults on x86-64 in the call to oopen(). After much
frustration and head scratching, I happened to see this comment near the top of
the file:
/* Paul's comment on this was "change this to 512 for 64bit cpu", but I don't
understand why. The Oracle manual just asks for 256 bytes. */
#define HDA_SIZE 256
Thinking maybe "Paul" might have known something, I increased HDA_SIZE to 512
and it worked fine.
I think this should just be changed to 512 in all cases, because at the worst
it only wastes 256 bytes, and who can't afford 256 bytes these days.
