Always hangs after "Copying input data into in-memory buffer so we can get the length"

[rasa]

Using Windows Packer 0.3.9 with the following config:

{
"builders": [{
    "type": "digitalocean",
    "api_key": "insert-key-here",
    "client_id": "insert-key-here",
    "image_id": 345791,
    "name": "example",
    "region_id": 3,
    "size_id": 66
}],
"provisioners": [{
    "type": "shell",
    "scripts": [
        "provision.sh"
    ]
}]
}

Packer invariably freezes at:

==> example: Provisioning with shell script: provision.sh

and it just sits there forever. I'm unable to abort with Ctrl-C, though I've always been able to abort with Ctrl-C in previous builds.

I've never seen this issue before 0.3.9, so I tested the exact same configuration/system with the 0.3.7 and 0.3.8 builds, and neither exhibited this issue.

Would building a "debug" version provide us more information to debug this issue?

Can you try setting "binary": true in the shell provisioner config and seeing if the issue persists?

I've tested it 3 times with "binary": true, and the freezing issue has gone away, but now it invariably crashes. Gist of crash.log is at https://gist.github.com/rasa/6804948

@rasa Thanks, I fixed your panic issue. I'm looking into the other.

[mitchellh]

@rasa Would it be possible to upload the entire file you're provisioning with somewhere? I need a byte-accurate copy of it so that we get the proper end of lines and all that.

@mitchellh Your last commit fixes the issues I was having, so I'll close this ticket. If you still need me to post a file, let me know.
