I have also posted this message to the Thin talk group as it's not clear to me whether this is a ruby or a thin problem.

I have both installed thin via gem install and downloaded and built/ installed from source. I have run thin via "script/server thin" as indicated here and via "thin start". In all cases I get the same result.

More info:

In rails (2.3.0) generated test app

1) Ran script/server and default WEBrick started and functioned fine at least through the rails provided index.html. 2) Halted script/server 3) Ran script/server thin and produced the reported bus error 4) Ran script/server and default WEBrick now produces the reported bus error.

This is looking less like a Thin problem...

Ruby 1.8.7 is more stable.

I know it's more stable, 1.8.6 is also more stable and faster than 1.8.7 to boot. I'm interested in moving forward under the (usually valid) assumption that 1.9 - when it gets there - will include system improvements that make the possible pain worth bearing. This isn't a course I'ld follow if I was working on a fielded application.

So here's the latest, and probably the last for now, word on what I've found.

I was able to clear the bus error problem for WEBrick by uninstalling the thin (1.0.1), daemons (1.0.10), and eventmachine (0.12.4) gems that came along with thin.

Pure speculation here...

My guess is that a new datapath between the (whichever) web server and the RoR app was established by thin's use of daemons and eventmachine. This path (together with the bus error) was then reused by WEBrick. My guess is that rebooting my computer would enable WEBrick to function once again - at least until the next instance of Thin.

I would like to follow this thread further - identifying and potentially assisting with the problem solution - but I'm unclear how to proceed.

Hi Rick, here’s the steps that I took without modifying any gem:

Please note that some steps maybe optional.

Good luck,

Hey Conrad, thanks for that...

I've found two separate bug reports against Ruby 1.9.[01] that have the same bus error triggered by different actions. So, I it's not a thin (exclusive) problem.

There are 2 things I'm wondering now:

1) what causes the bus error once triggered by thin to propogate into WEBrick and hang there until the thin, daemon, and eventmachine gems are uninstalled? Related to this is - does your system have daemons and eventmachine gems installed? If so, did they come along with the thin install?

2) what are the steps that were used to build the thin that's distributed via macports?

thanks again, Rick

Hey Conrad, thanks for that…

I’ve found two separate bug reports against Ruby 1.9.[01] that have

the same bus error triggered by different actions. So, I it’s not a

thin (exclusive) problem.

There are 2 things I’m wondering now:

  1. what causes the bus error once triggered by thin to propogate into

WEBrick and hang there until the thin, daemon, and eventmachine gems

are uninstalled? Related to this is - does your system have daemons

and eventmachine gems installed? If so, did they come along with the

thin install?

Hey Rick, they were installed automatically because they were thin dependencies.

For example, the dependencies for ‘thin’ can be found by doing the following:

gem dependency thin # if it’s installed locally.

or

gem dependency thin -r # if it’s not installed locally.

  1. what are the steps that were used to build the thin that’s

distributed via macports?

I installed thin by using the following:

sudo gem install thin

Good luck,

So, here's how this turned out. It seems that I had two versions of openssl installed on my system - one old one (from fink? macports? ...) in /usr/[bin include lib] and the other newly built from source in /opt/local/[bin include lib].

I was building all systems from source with config --prefix=/opt/local but, when it came to gem install thin the older version of openssl was linked in from /usr/lib. This led to the conflict between thin and ruby that generated the bus error.

I really wanted to figure this out because I'm guessing that ruby 1.9.1p1 might be fairly quickly supplanted by p[2-?] and I'ld rather not wait on someone else tracking the changes and building a new executible.

Besides, I'm enough of a motorhead that I like to look inside and see all the whirry bits...

So, to all who fed me information, thanks again for your help, Rick
