Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12607
missing /bin/domainname leads to abort
Last modified: 2003-04-29 15:55:01 UTC
in sal/osl/unx/socket.c:870 in case of a missing /bin/domainname there is a exit(-1) in the fork'ed process. This is not really wrong, but causes bad side effects: destructors are called which e.g. close the X display connection; since the connection is shared after the fork() it tells the Xserver that this client is dead, which leads to the main process receiving an XIO error (or IceIO error whichever comes first) - meaning instant termination of the main process. Please use _exit() instead which will not cose such problems as it only close the open file descriptors for the fork()'ed process. Please also have a look whether there are similar action in the code. Please fix this for OOo 1.0.3 also.
There is already issue 11777 covering this problem *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 11777 ***
