webalizer-win64-4-2-2-3 freeze sometime

[Former user]

Hi

strange - on runing webalizer freeze on a couple of log files - everytime on the same line. If i set "Debug" to yes, then it works on all log files without problems.

regards Peter and tnx for your work anyway!

If you can make the log file that is triggering this behavior and the configuration file(s) available somewhere I can pick them up, send the link to [e-mail]. If you cannot, I will suggest some troubleshooting steps, but it will take longer.

From the description of the bug here and in the email conversation it appears that SSW locks up in the Berkeley DB code when resolving IP addresses, which in turn is likely caused by this bug:

It has been reported that changing DNSChildren from 50 to 20 may seem like it works around the bug, but most likely it just reduces the level of concurrency and make the bug harder to reproduce.

The fix will be release in v5.0.0
