Bug 54215

I copied that journal part. If i view it directly with -D option (in other directory, without older logs), all ok.

Here it is that part:

Starting with systemd-189 I have segfaults of systemd-journal as well (see below). However, I don't have any of these ata related exceptions reported by the bug creator.

Hmm, if you have a journal file which I can run here that triggers this problem I'd be thankful if you could send it to me (will delete it after debugging).

Vlad, Alexey experiences segfaults in journalctl, not journald. Could you please open a separate bug and attach backtraces of these crashes, please?

Lennart,

I don't get it... I was(am) under impression that the systemd-journal process segfaulted (see below). I don't have any segfaults with journalctl.

Alexey opened the bug regarding a crasher in journalctl (as even the one line summary of this bug says...)

Vlad, you, however have a crashed in journald. So it's two different things. Hence, please open a separate bug report about that, and please include a backtrace, otherwise we'll have a hard time to help you.

Oke, I didn't pay attention on the bug description... I'll open a new bug regarding this.

I am quite sure this is fixed with 191. Please check if you can reproduce this with 191, if so open a new bug with a bt from 191. Thanks!
