spine poller terminates with buffer overflow.

[David Ramsden]

Binary package hint: cacti-spine

spine (package: cacti-spine) termines with:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: spine terminated

I have removed cacti and cacti-spine, purged configs and re-installed. Configured just one host+device to poll using spine and the same issue occurs.

Please see attached spine-output.txt for the results of running spine from the CLI with verbosity set at 5 (spine --verbosity=5).

I have similar error with spine after dist-upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 last week.

downloading and installing cacti-spine from karmic helped :

wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/cacti-spine/cacti-spine_0.8.7c-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i cacti-spine_0.8.7c-1_i386.deb
