SEGMENTATION FAULT - Using very long terms for servicegroup names

[linux-system-technik at de.man-mn.com]

Hallo list,

we experienced a problem with a very long term we used as a name for a
servicegroup. This name was something like sg_intranet_prod_webapp. The
configuration check of nagios ended with a segmentation fault. As soon as
we shorten this name down to sg_webapp the segfault disappeared and
everything worked fine. Thats why I guess it has something to do with that
long name.

Is there a limitation to such names? We are also using really long names
for hostgroups but didn't experienced such problems.

NAGIOS VERSION    2.0b3
OS VERSION        SLES9

If you need more information about our environment or configuration, a
trace or whatever, feel free to contact us. By the way, a short strace
didn't show a clear hint to the reason for the segfault.

Thanks.



Mit freundlichen Grüßen
