Hi,
I'm experiencing crashes preceded by
ERROR: MFS: hlist_push: past maximum stack
message (itself simply reproducible, by the way). It's a segfault and
backtrace shows strcmp() being called by mfs_redirector(), which is nonsense,
IMO. When looking into mfs.c I noticed the following:
hlist_index = hlist_push(hlist, sda_cur_psp(sda), bs_pos ? fpath : "");
sdb_dir_entry(sdb) = 0;
sdb_p_cluster(sdb) = hlist_index;
hlists.stack[hlist_index].seq = ++hlists.seq; /* new watch stamp --ms */
When hlist_push fails (it's the "past maximum stack" message), it returns -1,
but the value is used anyway, which seems highly suspicious.
Maybe the fix is simple (let the dos_fs_redirect fail if hlist_push fails),
or maybe the whole "hlist stack" is leaking somehow... I'm able to spend
some time debugging/fixing that, if pointed into right direction :).
Regards,
