Crash on iNotes when applying IF1 or the new 9.0.1 FP4 version

Daniel Nashed – 20 July 2015 04:05:44
One of my customers and another partner reported a new crash when applying 9.0.1 FP4 IF1.
They both reported the exact same call-stack both running on Linux. I have no details yet but given the fact that there are two independent crash reports with the same call-stack this might be a more general issue.


I am waiting for more information and will update you ASAP once I hear anything new.
For now I would stay on the last IF of FP3 until we know what is happening.


Enclosed you find the call-stack for reference.

Update 13.08.2015:

IBM is working on a fix. One of my customers got a hotfix. It is not clear what is exactly broken.
But we also found some other details and a work-around.

It turns out that IBM moved from Dojo 1.5.2 to 1.5.4 in FP4.
The file owner is not set correctly in those new Dojo files. I have one Linux customer and one AIX customer where fixing the file-permissions did help to avoid the crash and also to get other functionality in XPages and other applications working again.

The permissions looked like this:

/local/notesdata/domino/js/dojo-1.5.4

[root@mail dojo-1.5.4]# ll
total 20
drwxr-xr-x. 12 10537 6001 4096 Jun  8 11:10 dijit
drwxr-xr-x. 13 10537 6001 4096 Jun  8 11:11 dojo
drwxr-xr-x. 53 10537 6001 4096 Jun  8 11:11 dojox
drwxr-xr-x.  5 10537 6001 4096 Jun  8 11:11 dwa
drwxr-xr-x.  5 10537 6001 4096 Jun  8 11:11 ibm

Changing them via chown -R notes:notes /local/notesdata/domino/js/dojo-1.5.4 did help in our case.
But the hotfix my Linux customer got, did fix it in some other way, because after applying the hotfix the file owners have been still wrong.

At the other end of the chain, the Notes client with fix pack 4 crashes when used a an IMAP client (I know, this is not so common but still). As soon as you replicate to collect your e-mail it simply kicks out... Uninstalled the FP and all is OK.

2Rene Bos  03.08.2015 22:28:04  Crash on iNotes when applying IF1 or the new 9.0.1 FP4 version

same here after FP4 upgrade even with IF1

whenever someone tries to open inotes, server crashes

3Daniel Brix  06.08.2015 8:08:44  Crash on iNotes when applying IF1 or the new 9.0.1 FP4 version

I am unable to reproduce the crash on windows 2008 64bit but on AIX 7.1.

Perhaps only an issue on linux / unix servers.

Hey Daniel,

my Linux customer got a fix and I got some info about the potential problem as well from IBM.

The SPR is #SVRO9YLM35: iNotes crash in MAXSPRINTF.

I have not seen a IF for that but I guess they will have to address this issue soon as it sounds like it is a more general problem.

Daniel, thank you for your feedback. The issue is also aimed at XPages because some dojo widgets are missing or file permissions are set incorrectly. A colleague tried under the guidance of IBM to correct the error. The crashes were fixed, but not the dojo problems. So we had to go back to FP3.

6Cameron Gregor  19.08.2015 4:25:55  Crash on iNotes when applying IF1 or the new 9.0.1 FP4 version

Thanks Daniel! This helped us diagnose our server crash, will try changing permissions...

7Torben Volkmann  26.09.2015 21:20:45  Crash on iNotes when applying IF1 or the new 9.0.1 FP4 version

Is anybody still having the problem with FP4 IF2? My server is still crashing

8Johannes Erk  29.09.2015 12:35:59  Crash on iNotes when applying IF1 or the new 9.0.1 FP4 version

Changing permissions worked like a charm. Great work, thank you! :)
