[CF-Devel] strange bug with user file

[Michael Toennies]

Hi

On my test server (on windows) i got a very strange bug.

The server runs since weeks and month without bigger problems,
but a hour ago, i got hard crashes.

I test alot (my arches first because i work on it), but it was not
a data file. At last (really at last) i find out, that my test char
yy has a bad player file.

The bug is more as strange , because
- no useful bug message
- server finds the player file ok

i had attached the player file.

Name yy, psw: yy

Please try it out. It should crash the server after you submit the pswd
to the server.

I find out that the server crushs in the module loop.c, function
void HandleClient(NewSocket *ns, player *pl).

In the part :

    /* Only valid players can use these commands */
	if (pl) for (i=0; plcommands[i].cmdname !=NULL; i++) {
        if (strcmp((char*)ns->inbuf.buf+2,plcommands[i].cmdname)==0) {
            plcommands[i].cmdproc((char*)data,len,pl);
            ns->inbuf.len=0;
        return;
	    }
	}

it crashes in the line:

 plcommands[i].cmdproc((char*)data,len,pl);

I have not the time to go deeper in it and i need first a verification, that
this is not a special problem of my test server.

Please give me a note about it.

Michael
