Re: Segfault in Kannel meta-data (TLV) branch with certain DLR

Ok, after a bit more perusing of the code, I think I found the  
problem (line 1460 of gw/smsc/smsc_smpp.c):

...
             /* got a deliver ack (DLR)?
                  * NOTE: following SMPP v3.4. spec. we are interested
                  *       only on bits 2-5 (some SMSC's send 0x44,  
and it's
                  *       spec. conforme)
                  */
             if (pdu->u.deliver_sm.esm_class & (0x04|0x08)) {

                 debug("bb.sms.smpp",0,"SMPP[%s] handle_pdu, got DLR",
                       octstr_get_cstr(smpp->conn->id));

                 dlrmsg = handle_dlr(smpp, pdu- 
 >u.deliver_sm.source_addr, pdu->u.deliver_sm.short_message, pdu- 
 >u.deliver_sm.message_payload,
                                     pdu- 
 >u.deliver_sm.receipted_message_id, pdu->u.deliver_sm.message_state);
                 if (dlrmsg->sms.meta_data == NULL)
                     dlrmsg->sms.meta_data = octstr_create("");
                 meta_data_set_values(msg->sms.meta_data, pdu- 
 >u.deliver_sm.tlv, "smpp"); /* <----------------------- should be  
'dlrmsg->sms.meta_data' */
                 resp = smpp_pdu_create(deliver_sm_resp,
                             pdu->u.deliver_sm.sequence_number);
                 if (dlrmsg != NULL)
                     reason = bb_smscconn_receive(smpp->conn, dlrmsg);
                 else
                     reason = SMSCCONN_SUCCESS;
                 resp->u.deliver_sm_resp.command_status =  
smscconn_failure_reason_to_smpp_status(reason);
             } else {/* MO-SMS */
...


I've changed that line (replaced 'msg' with 'dlrmsg') and rebuilt  
Kannel - it seems to be working fine so far, but I'll need some more  
traffic to know for sure (it's late here, so traffic has dropped off  
a bit)

Can someone confirm this problem + fix?

Thanks,
