Node crashes probably while trying to make a payment

[ghost]

Issue and Steps to Reproduce

EDIT:

My node often crashes in the same way when I make payments to coinpanic.com and other websites,.

I don't see a crash report in .lightning but the output of lightningd can be found here

I can't retrieve the log, can you post it to a public place?

[ghost]

My server was probably really slow when you tried, could you try again? Anyways, you can find out.txt here as well (or do you mean another file?)

So the relevant lines seem to be the following:

The line lightningd: Outstanding taken pointers: (nil) seems to indicate a false positive in the memory leak detection.

This is the output of the previous crash (with a somewhat earlier version of the software but not much). Maybe that extra information is useful as well:

FYI: When my node crashes, "num_taken" in "taken_any(void)" in file ccan/ccan/take/take.c is always 1.

Made a payment to coinpanic.com today and my node crashed again. I found out it was always node
cosmicApotheosis 03a8334aba5660e241468e2f0deb2526bfd50d0e3fe808d882913e39094dc1a028
that caused the crash.

I then closed that channel and made payments to 5 different websites and had no problems anymore.
So it´s looks like a very rare bug to me. Good luck!

UPDATE: Well it's actually still crashing some time after I made payments (but in a different way).
See: out_180820181808.txt and crash_180820181808.log for a typical example here

Updated to version v0.6.1rc1 and my node doesn't crash anymore, even though I made many payments.

However, for a version just before that and almost identical, v0.6-412-ga311527, I created a channel with cosmicApotheosis 03a8334aba5660e241468e2f0deb2526bfd50d0e3fe808d882913e39094dc1a028 again and after a payment my node immediately crashed with the same error ( lightningd: Outstanding taken pointers: (nil) ). I closed my channel to cosmicApotheosis.

So, without a channel to cosmicApotheosis I experience no problems at all, but with a channel to cosmicApotheosis I'm not so sure.

[cdecker]

Ok, marking this as stale and closing in a few days if it doesn't manifest itself anymore.

[ghost]

To test it, I will create a new channel to cosmicApotheosis and make a few payments. To be honest I expect my node to crash again. I will report back in a few days..

[ghost]

Connected to cosmicApotheosis, did some payments and my node didn't crash. The issue can be closed indeed. I'm now using the Spark wallet and it looks very professional already. Great work guys!

[cdecker]

Glad we could help, and yes @shesek's Spark Wallet really is amazing!
