[Pdns-users] Crashing randomly

[R Jansen]

Hi All,

I'm experiencing some problems with PowerDNS. It seems to be crashing 
randomly.
It's installed on 3 different FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE machines with the mysql 
backend and is installed from the ports collection. They all seem to show 
simular behaviour.

When it goes down it gives the following log:
May 13 09:07:52 freedom /kernel: pid 63275 (pdns_server), uid 54: exited on 
signal 11
May 13 09:07:52 freedom pdns[25226]: Our pdns instance (63275) exited after

Some other info of the server:
powerdns-2.9.16_4   An advanced DNS server with SQL backend
mysql-client-3.23.52 Multithreaded SQL database (client)
mysql-server-3.23.52 Multithreaded SQL database (server)
p5-DBD-mysql-2.9003 MySQL driver for the Perl5 Database Interface (DBI)


Furthermore the server seems to be running fine.

Could anyone shed some light on this, or could anyone give me some pointers 
on how to troubleshoot this kind of behaveiour.


Any help is apreciated.

With kind regards,
R. Jansen
