Can you recompile but now with excluding pollin.

I do not think it is pollin. That must be something different.
I have similar problems, typically it happens whenever the GUI is not terminated properly:

Code:

[Mar 04 01:11:21:470494] pilight-daemon: -- STACKTRACE (5 FRAMES) --
[Mar 04 01:11:21:473182] pilight-daemon: __default_sa_restorer_v2       ip = 0x76cf1180, sp = 0x70afeac8
[Mar 04 01:11:21:475085] pilight-daemon: broadcast                      ip =    0x210f8, sp = 0x70afedb8
[Mar 04 01:11:21:477152] pilight-daemon: start_thread                   ip = 0x76ed5e90, sp = 0x70afee60
[Mar 04 01:11:21:479136] pilight-daemon: clone                          ip = 0x76d93598, sp = 0x70afefa0

In my opinion it would be useful to have linker maps available for debugging purposes (options -Wl -map).
It looks like memory freed up and a pointer writes into previously unallocated memory, or memory allocated in an interrupt routine and the garbage collecter moved the code around ?

Except that all three bugs @creamers reports involves pollin. The cause for your bug is know and fixed in the rewrite code.

I also had the same bug with "fasttop", pilight always crashed at least once per day, sometimes within one hour. By restarting the service, nothing worked, only if I run pilight-daemon from the command-line, it continued until the next crash. Or after a reboot, the service started again.

The only week, when it was really running, was when we were in holiday. My pilight only needs to receive temperature-signals and signals from motion detectors or window sensors.

After about 20 clean install of raspbian (meanwhile my first Raspi gave up), trying everything like nightly, manual install and only choosing the protocols I really use, I found an error message with something like "locale".

The locale of raspbian is one of the first thing i change and remove the default en_us locale.

So after this message, i selected the en_us locale and set it to default in raspi-config. Since then, my pilight-service is running since almost two days, which is far more than everything before - I will have an eye on it.

Hope that helps you for find and fix the bug.

[creamers]

Code:

pi@pilight:~ $ sudo raspi-config
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
pi@pilight:~ $

Will try it out.

I do regularly (every half hour) check (urllib2.urlopen(theStatusurl)) the gui state, maybe there is a connection also.

I use pollin because my motion detection uses this protocol for my alarm system.

[creamers]

so far so good. Havent had a crash since "en_US.UTF-8" on 9-3

I jinxed it )-: but this is a new error ?

Looks indeed like a buffer overflow. Let's hope i got this fixed in the rewrite branch
