Zone Crash (realloc)

[tigurius]

Thanks for posting the solution! Just moved my server to linux and ran into this same problem. If I figure out what the problem is with that lua file I'll post a fix.

Took some time with this today. So its not the script itself but the lua parsing code that is throwing the error. I'm on OpenSuse 13.2 which came with Lua 5.2, so I manually installed Lua 5.1.4 (same ver as I was on for Win server) and swapped the symlinks so its used instead. Still no good, still crash on zones where lua is used. (Like I was fine removing global_player.lua and loading up in OT but soon as I zoned to POK i crashed) I'll see if i can dig into the parsing code a bit tomorrow to see why its throwing exceptions.

Ok found a solution-

Turns out the system originally had Lua 5.2 like I posted before. I did not however "re-build" with Lua 5.1 after installing it. So I built a new source dir and did a fresh git clone, did a new build with Lua 5.1 as the default (I also added Luajit to the system for measure). Build thankfully succeeded first try. Then just moved over the binaries with the new libluabind.a and libcommon.a to my server directory and everything is working good now. I can zone into PoK which has plenty of lua scripting and no crashes.
