[SSL] malloc failure (_ssl.c:2214)

Hi all,

I hope someone could help me.

I run sabnzbd 2.3.5 on an Arch linux machine. With the latest arch patches, sabnzd does not connect to the usenet server anymore. The error message says:

[SSL] malloc failure (_ssl.c:2214)

I suspect that something with openssl on the arch machine is wrong, but I'm unable to find the error. Any ideas, thoughts or directions ? Many thanks !

cheers,
FB

There must be more lines of info in sabnzbd.log and/or console, certainly before this message. Can you post that?

This is inside the C-part of Python/OpenSSL though.
Is it possible for you to re-install whole Python?

there's not much in sabnzbd.log:

In the meantime: does it also happen with another newsserver, for example news.eweka.nl or news.vipernews.com ?

Thanks safihre ! re-installing python did the trick.

A simple

Code: Select all

pacman -S python python2
was enough !

Many thanks for the quick help !

cheers FB
