IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-Archive Client version 8.1.15
running on Linux operating systems crashes during startup if
the client is configured for automatic failover to a
replication server.
One of the following messages might accompany the crash:
- free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Aborted (core dumped)
- *** Error in `xxxx': double free or corruption (!prev):
nxnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ***
======= Backtrace: =========
======= Memory map: ========
where 'xxxx' is the module that crashed, such as dsmc, and
nxnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn is a hexadecimal number
The dsmerror.log file might include this message:
<date> <time> ANS0361I DIAG: main thread, fatal error, signal 6
The crash can occur in the command line client, the remote
agent, or the API. This means that IBM Spectrum Protect Data
Protection products and other API applications can also be
affected by this problem.
Additional diagostics:
Use the GNU Debugger (gdb) to obtain a backtrace from the core
file:
gdb /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc core.nnnnn
where core.nnnn is the core file.
At the "(gdb)" prompt type this command to see the backtrace:
Then type this command to exit from gdb:

If a core file is not created, check the ulimit setting for
core files (ulimit -c). If the ulimit is set to a low value or
0, then temporarily change it to unlimited, reproduce the
problem to obtain the core file, then change the ulimit to it's
original value.
