Subject: Bug#47273: ioslaves killed and restarted repeatedly
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-bugs-dist&m=103082424423544

Package: kioslave
Version: KDE 3.0.7 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc-2.96
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I will use the ftp ioslave in this example, but I believe this affects all ioslaves (sftp slave shows the same behavior).

I am seeing instances where the slave is repeatedly being killed and restarted for no particularly good reason as far as I can tell. I have not found a definite pattern to what causes the behavior either.

I can replicate the behavior by connecting to a ftp site, ftp://myhost.  Once I am connected if I click around on folders and go up and down the directory tree enough, eventually a username/password dialog pops up. This just appears while I am browsing the ftp site.  Checking the kdebug messages shows the slave was killed and restarted. No password was saved (may this be another bug???) so the dialog is shown. If I enter my username and password again, I reconnect. I can then reproduce the bug again.  The kdebug messages are:

kio (KIOJob): Job::kill this=0x8319f60 m_progressId=0 quietly=true
kio (KIOJob): SimpleJob::kill(quietly:true)
kio (Scheduler): Scheduler: killing slave 7371
kio (Slave): killing slave pid=7371 (ftp://ibex)
kio (KIOJob): Job::kill this=0x833f8e0 m_progressId=0 quietly=true
kio (kioslave): SIGPIPE

The complete debug output is at:
http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ljfisher/kdebug.dbg
Look in the top half of the file for the above messages to get an idea of the context of the error.

Please contact me if there is any additional information I can provide.
