Hello,

I have just now experienced a possible new bug with bacula 5.0.1.

The symptoms are this:

bacula-sd crashes
bacula-dir continues to run
bacula-dir then spews out identical "Intervention needed" emails until 
manually restarted

The first time this happened over a weekend and upon returning I found 
my inbox has about 120,000 bacula emails, all the SAME and of this type:

"15-Apr 10:02 client-fd JobId 100001: Fatal error: backup.c:1048 Network 
send error to SD. ERR=Broken pipe"

It happened again just now (second time since upgrading from 3.0.3 to 
5.0.1) and I managed to stop the director with only a few thousand 
emails going out.

So there are really 2 issues here:

1)
Why does the director apparently get stuck in an infinite loop of 
sending the same email message?  Is this a known bug?

2)
Regarding the SD, I received one alert of this type, the rest like the 
above:

  "15-Apr 10:02 server-sd: ERROR in lock.c:268 Failed ASSERT: 
dev->blocked()"

A traceback like:
--
ptrace: Operation not permitted.
/var/bacula/work/29091: No such file or directory.
$1 = 0
/opt/bacula-5.0.1/scripts/btraceback.gdb:2: Error in sourced command file:
No symbol "exename" in current context.
--

And a bactrace like:

Both clients and server seem healthy, except for the SD crash.
Any ideas?


thanks!
