Description

Referring to LTTng-Tools bug #89, I can not segfault the session daemon anymore but the lttng-ust tracer now is the one segfaulting.

Using git HEAD version of both lttng-tools (faf09bcfc465cdf7a5892339ee36b2dcef85b227) and lttng-ust (a7859af5c73c3f7cc863702d322d86fc2c4523ab), running those commands trigger the segfault (ref to bug #89):

lttng create
lttng enable-channel test -u --num-subbuf 3 # known bad number of buffers.
lttng enable-event -u -a
lttng start

./hello

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
