[Serusers] Re: [Serhelp] FW: SER crashing because of too many interfaces

Hi, A while back I reported a problem with SER given a memory allocation failure. At that time we were still using SER 0.8.11. Early this week we repeated our test with 0.8.12. Unfortunately the problem is still there. Below you will see the error output. Although we initially believed SER to crash, this is not the case, so we cannot send you a coredump. Below you will find the error output. In this example we force SER to listen to 2 interfaces by specifying the respective IP addresses in the ser.cfg file. As you see we get 2 "memory allocation failure" error messages. If we increase the number of interfaces to say 5, we also get 5 of these "memory allocation failure" error messages.

The server has a very large number of ppp interfaces defined (several thousands). This is the source that brings the error to the surface. If we decrease this number to a much lower figure, say 30, the problem is gone. We believe the problem to be in main.c and that malloc is given error message. Because of this problem, SER fails to function on our server. Could you take a look into this matter?
