Description

On one of my pfSense boxes I've seen Unbound segfault a couple of times. Since pfSense doesn't seem to monitor Unbound, it will not automatically restart and will thus require manual intervention. pfSense is running in a VM on a box with ECC memory, so I highly doubt this is a hardware issue.

Example log lines are:
- kernel: pid 8272 (unbound), uid 59: exited on signal 11
- kernel: pid 22346 (unbound), uid 59: exited on signal 11
- I think I've also seen a signal 10 once

Affected versions are all 2.2.x releases so far.

If there is a way to collect more information, I'd be happy to do so.

is there any means of replicating?

Unfortunately not, it seems to crash rather randomly. I'd love to be able to capture a stacktrace or other useful information.

+1, crashed randomly on amd64 for me as well on several different devices

haven't seen any reports of this in >=2.3. The root cause is an issue in unbound itself, and several potential segfaults in it have been fixed in their releases since then.
