Subject: memcached posix threads and pidfile problem
Message-ID: <470B9542.3040906@supersnel.adsl.utwente.nl>

Hi list,

I had some troubles running a threaded memcached with -P, see
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195248 for details.

After looking at the source I noticed the writing of the pid happens
after the daemon starts it threads, resulting in multiple threads
wanting to write to the same file pointer. I've solved this with a patch

2672a2673
>       save_pid(getpid(), pid_file);
2721,2723c2722
<     /* save the PID in if we're a daemon */
<     if (daemonize)
<         save_pid(getpid(), pid_file);

Kind regards,

Marlon
