Hey Alex, I didn't had the time to sit and compose a STDINT/OUT input and output that can be used to test the security_file_certgen. Can you or anyone of the related developers post in the wiki a simple "example" input that can be sent over STDIN to debug this type of issues? I can just load the software as squid or proxy user but... Another option is to point us towards the debug options that will give the testing admins(or me) an option to copy and paste the data that squid is sending to the helper.

If there are no error messages in cache.log, then your system log may have additional information such as the process signal that killed the helper. If it was a crash, then your core dump directory should have the corresponding core dump (make sure you enable core dumps!) that you can examine with gdb. > I ran the security_gen_helper under GDB and it seems to be crashing here: > https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/blob/master/src/ssl/gadgets.cc#L218 If you can reproduce helper crash while it has gdb attached, please post the stack trace. > I saw a commit supporting a newer version of openssl, I wonder if > that may have mistakenly broken support for older versions of > openssl? Sure, it may have. Most likely, the changes are not tested in an environment matching yours, and the bug may be environment-driven. If you get more details such as a backtrace, please consider filing a bug report with all the details.
