[hylafax-users] FaxQueuer[...]: Assertion failed "InvalidStr[] index", file "../util/Str.h" line 106



Hello folks,

We are having a large fax-mailing job to do this weekend (4000 
facsmiles). However, the fax server worked fine for over the last 
year.

I replaced sendmail by exim to provide a new email-to-fax gateway for 
our users. Due to misconfiguration there was some sort of 
endless-loop which caused the server to send about 500.000 facsmiles 
to an invalid number. I deleted them successfully and everything 
seems to be fine now.

``sendfax -d <number> <file>'' it gives me "request id is 2 (group id 
2) for host localhost (1 file).

I can read the tiff file stored on the server and I can see the 
submitted job in the hylafax que. Sadly, this job is never really 
processed but directly moved to doneq with the status failed. The job 
file gives no hint about anything that might gone wrong.

Now that the job is marked 'failed' in the que and hanging around in 
the doneq I got some time to check the syslog, which gives me the 
following information:

+-+-+ /var/log/messages +-+-+
fax FaxQueuer[1213]: SUBMIT JOB 2
fax FaxQueuer[1349]: Assertion failed "Invalid Str[] index", file 
"../util/Str.h" line 106. 
fax FaxQueuer[1213]: JOB 2: bad exit status 0x6 from sub-fork
fax FaxQueuer[1213]: NOTIFY: bin/notify "doneq/q2" "failed" ""
fax FaxQueuer[1213]: Bad exit status 077000 for 'bin/notify 
"doneq/q2" "failed" ""'
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

The line containing the information about ``assertion failed'' causes 
me to worry a little about the binaries. The weird thing is that they 
worked fine before. Who of you guys knows the source code of 'Str.h'? 
What happens there? What might cause this to happen?

The other thing is the bad exit status of 'bin/notify'. But I think I 
can fix this by reinstalling sendmail correctly. But IMHO this is not 
causing this job to fail.

Please.. Can anyone help me? Deadline is monday *sniff*.

Here are the facts:
-------------------
 o SuSE Linux 8.1
    Linux fax 2.4.19-4GB
 o Single CPU 400 Mhz
 o 1 Active Fritz! PCI ISDN controller
 o Hylafax 4.1.3
 o faxCAPI (to fax using the ISDN controllers)


Thanks!
