Description
Sftp crashes with Bus error (core dumped) when I try to run "get" or "put" commands
http://www.filefactory.com/file/b411150/n/sftp.core
Excuse me, I cannot give a direct link. I have some space available on
sourceforge.net for direct access, but I cannot use it without sftp.

Please also attach your sftp binary.

I've recompiled sftp with -g and without -O options and attached the file. (I
have x86_64 system with DragonFlyBSD 2.8)

Glob without GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC works fine. Maybe there is something in pglob->gl_*
functions.

What would be usefuly is compiling libc with debug. In any case it'll be much
easier to debug sftp than ruby. If possible, please compile libc with
DEBUG_FLAGS=-g (I think) and get a backtrace with that.

alexh, I've compiled libc (via make buildworld && make installworld) with -g
option. unfortunately I can not "build world" with -O0 option (An error occurs).

Maybe, something it wrong with pglob? I'll try to find it out.

Can you give the following values?

Uh, I am sorry. This is my fault, actually.

I have something interesting for you. Size of glob_t (type for glob() ) is 88
(at least on my machine):
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <glob.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
printf ("%i\n", sizeof(glob_t));
return 0;
}
$ cc -o test test.c
$ ./test
88
In glob () function it is 88 too, but in process_get() and remote_glob() it is
72. How could it be?

:
In glob () function it is 88 too, but in process_get() and remote_glob() it is
72. How could it be?
Hum, apparently sftp uses the OpenBSD definition of glob_t from
/usr/src/crypto/openssh/openbsd-compat/glob.h, whereas the glob()
in libc uses the one from /usr/include/glob.h. Unlike OpenBSD,
FreeBSD and Dragonfly use size_t for the first three members.
Since sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(int) this is not a problem on 32-bit
version of i386 CPUs, but in x86_64 sizeof(size_t) > sizeof(int),
so glob() uses the memory location different from what the caller
intended for function pointers, which led to a crash. BTW at least
gl_pathc and gl_offs are mentioned to be size_t according to the
following URL (the site may be down at the moment):
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/glob.h.htmlCan you try replacing the first three members in glob_t from int
to size_t, that is,
/usr/src/crypto/openssh/openbsd-compat/glob.h:
typedef struct {
int gl_pathc; /* Count of total paths so far. /
int gl_matchc; / Count of paths matching pattern. /
int gl_offs; / Reserved at beginning of gl_pathv. */
to:
typedef struct {
size_t gl_pathc; /* Count of total paths so far. /
size_t gl_matchc; / Count of paths matching pattern. /
size_t gl_offs; / Reserved at beginning of gl_pathv. */
then rebuild sftp and see if that helps?

Instead of messing around with that, can you please try the attached
