Known Bugs worthy of a mention:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. /MODUNLOAD causes cores:
- If a module is modified before being unloaded, /MODUNLOAD (and
therefore /MODRELOAD) may cause a core.
This problem is caused by the behaviour of the OS, which treats
shared libraries differently to executables (modifying the ircd
binary whilst it is running would also cause a core, but is denied
by the OS).
A workaround to avoid coring is possible however. To install new
modules, first remove or rename the old module, then copy/move the
new file into place. install or make install is also safe.
/MODUNLOAD will then work successfully.
We will likely have a workaround implemented in the next version.
BUG REPORTS: If you run this code and encounter problems, you must report
the bug on http://bugs-meta.atheme.org/ (Charybdis project) or via IRC,
irc.atheme.org #charybdis.
Please include a gdb backtrace and keep your binaries, modules and core file
in case the developers need more information.
