Bug #2353: hash.c:setenv causes crashes in Solaris http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2353 Author: Christian Höltje Status: Open, Priority: Normal Category: core ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-11-10 trunk 25704) [sparc-solaris2.8] Hi! I submitted this as a pull request for shyouhei's ruby git repo, via github. I want to document this here too. The environ manipulations that are done in the fall-back code in hash.c (the code that runs if !WIN32 and !HAVE_SETENV) causes crashes in Solaris some times. In addition, it fails hard if you use the binary on a newer version of Solaris. The code I wrote works on Solaris 8 (all tests pass) and works when the binary is copied to a Solaris 10 system and some simple test code that sets and unsets lots of environment variable is run. With a clean ruby, the test cases pass in Solaris 8 (usually) but my test code would not run at all when the binary is copied to Solaris 10. If there is anything else I should do, please don't hesitant to tell me. Ciao! ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
