I just think I am accessing to many things from bitcoind, but this is just since I upgraded from 0.9.0 to 0.9.1. And nothing is getting corrupted from these crashes, cause it starts up just fine.

Edit: I need to use 0.9.1 I am one of the few that use rpcssl.

Code:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./bitcoind terminated

I guess I have a long day of testing out numbers. Either I get a buffer overflow, or I get that other error.

Maybe an open file handle leak? On Linux could be easily checked by peeking into /proc file system while the program is running.

LevelDB read failure: IO error: /home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/blocks/index/061074.sst: Too many open files
2014-04-24 06:28:02 IO error: /home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/blocks/index/061074.sst: Too many open files

Should I just increase the number of open files on the system? It is ubuntu 12.10.

Edit: Also looking thru the logs I get this error as well.

Code:

ERROR: bool GetTransaction(const uint256&, CTransaction&, uint256&, bool) : Deserialize or I/O error - CAutoFile::operator>> : file handle is NULL
