I'm not sure if this is the same issue. But while running BitBucket we got a segfault about once a day (and had to restart bitbucket), until we figured out it was coming from snoopy code and disabled snoopy on the host. The relevant part of the backtrace: #1236 0x00007fa0e54ac746 in strlen () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/strlen.S:106 #1237 0x00007fa0e59fd0fd in snoopy_datasource_cmdline () at /lib/snoopy.so #1238 0x00007fa0e59fcdc4 in snoopy_message_generateFromFormat () at /lib/snoopy.so #1239 0x00007fa0e59fcc6b in snoopy_log_syscall () at /lib/snoopy.so #1240 0x00007fa0e59fca45 in execve () at /lib/snoopy.so #1241 0x00007fa0e2fd8284 in execve_with_shell_fallback (mode=, file=0x7fa081e75d60 "/usr/bin/git", argv=0x7fa080bfd5e0, envp=0x7fa081316ad0) at /build/openjdk-8-W2Qe27/openjdk-8-8u151-b12/src/jdk/src/solaris/native/java/lang/childproc.c:213 #1242 0x00007fa0e2fd86a9 in childProcess (arg=arg@entry=0x7fa0808e4ee0) at /build/openjdk-8-W2Qe27/openjdk-8-8u151-b12/src/jdk/src/solaris/native/java/lang/childproc.c:365 #1243 0x00007fa0e2fd5114 in vforkChild (c=c@entry=0x7fa0808e4ee0) at /build/openjdk-8-W2Qe27/openjdk-8-8u151-b12/src/jdk/src/solaris/native/java/lang/UNIXProcess_md.c:434 #1244 0x00007fa0e2fd580d in Java_java_lang_UNIXProcess_forkAndExec (env=0x7fa09c73f9e0, process=, helperpath=, c=0x7fa0808e4ee0) at /build/openjdk-8-W2Qe27/openjdk-8-8u151-b12/src/jdk/src/solaris/native/java/lang/UNIXProcess_md.c:552 #1245 0x00007fa0e2fd580d in Java_java_lang_UNIXProcess_forkAndExec (env=0x7fa09c73f9e0, process=, mode=3, helperpath=0x7fa03276cef0, prog=0x7fa03276cef8, argBlock=0x7fa03276cf00, argc=2, envBlock=0x7fa03276cf30, envc=21, dir=0x7fa03276cf40, std_fds=0x7fa03276cf48, redirectErrorStream=0 '\000') at /build/openjdk-8-W2Qe27/openjdk-8-8u151-b12/src/jdk/src/solaris/native/java/lang/UNIXProcess_md.c:645 #1246 0x00007fa0cf948ac9 in [native offset=0x149] java.lang.UNIXProcess.forkAndExec(int,byte,byte,byte,int,byte,int,byte,int,boolean) () at java/lang/UNIXProcess.java #1247 0x00007fa0d43e3394 in [inlined] java.lang.StringCoding.encode(char,int,int) () at java/lang/StringCoding.java:388 0x00007fa0d43e3394 in [inlined] java.lang.String.getBytes() () at java/lang/String.java:958 0x00007fa0d43e3394 in [inlined] java.lang.ProcessImpl.toCString(java.lang.String) () at java/lang/ProcessImpl.java:51 0x00007fa0d43e3394 in [compiled offset=0x834] java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(java.lang.String,java.util.Map,java.lang.String,java.lang.ProcessBuilder$Redirect,boolean) () at java/lang/ProcessImpl.java:134 #1248 0x00007fa0d3745548 in [inlined] com.atlassian.utils.process.ExternalProcessImpl.createDefaultProcess(java.util.List,java.util.Map,java.io.File) () at com/atlassian/utils/process/ExternalProcessImpl.java:376 0x00007fa0d3745548 in [compiled offset=0x7c8] com.atlassian.utils.process.ExternalProcessImpl.createProcess(java.util.List,java.util.Map,java.io.File) () at com/atlassian/utils/process/ExternalProcessImpl.java:387 #1249 0x00007fa0d52478cc in [inlined] com.atlassian.utils.process.ExternalProcessBuilder.build() () at com/atlassian/utils/process/ExternalProcessBuilder.java:55 May be related to https://github.com/a2o/snoopy/issues/46, but I think that the commit that supposedly fixed that is on version 2.3.1.
