All,

I've been playing with jabber module and having problems someone had mentioned here earlier: first, the number of ser processes increases constantly . This is due to the fact that XJAB threads seem to be dying (or so waitpid() code thinks in jabber.c), and keeps spawning more threads. The proble is that ser threads are still around when that happens, contributing to a number of processes.

Second, and most troubling, is that jabber module doesn't even try to connect to jabber server (conformed by running ngrep and tcpdump on a jabber box, which runs on a separate box). This may or may not be due to the error described above (any chance that jabber threads that are supposed to connect are not around anymore?). I even tried disabling TCP and recompiling (commented -DUSE_TCP in Makefile.def)

The rest of ser functionality is fine. I can log in tp the server easily, mysql gets updated acorrdingly, etc.

The setup: ser-0.8.11pre29 on Linux 2.4.9 (host name piias12), compiled with gcc 3.2.2. Jabber runs on a server "sait661".

The jusers looks like this:
