[hunchentoot-devel] Fwd: [Sbcl-devel] SBCL crashes in READ-SEQUENCE with Error: The value 1025 is not of type (MOD 1025)
Recently, I saw one of my servers crash to ldb with the error message "Error: The value 1025 is not of type (MOD 1025)". This happens every few months, and I have not been bothered too much by it (and I will be bothered even less now that Zach Beane has posted how I can disable ldb), but I wanted to know what the cause for this is, so inquired in sbcl-devel. See Juho's answer below. It boils down to: There is a file descriptor leak.

Hi,
sporadically, some of my Hunchentoot based web servers running on SBCL 1.0.20.22 (FreeBSD, threaded) crash to ldb, with the following messages appearing on the REPL:
Error: The value 1025 is not of type (MOD 1025).
My first guess would be that you've got a fd that's too large (select can only handle fds smaller than FD_SETSIZE).
Some people have explored replacing the use of select() for serve-event with using various other fd polling interfaces to work around this problem (there should be one patch floating around that uses epoll() on Linux, don't know whether that'd be usable for you on FreeBSD).

Are you use SELECT? (just curious)

No, but it seems that SBCL does, internally, and does not try to guard against file descriptors that are too large.
