<br>
Could you provide the version for lttng-ust, lttng-tools,
lttng-modules (if installed)?<br>
<br>
Were you able to reproduce the issue on master (git) ?<br>
<br>
What are the exact order of command to reproduce the problem ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>

<p>Hi LTTng community:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We are using LTTng for our production environment. We have
been noticing segfault problem when our process exit. We think
the problem is due to the background thread continue to write
traces, while LTTng cleanup its memory. We do not know how to
fix this issue without changing LTTng code base. I have
written a very simple app that could repro the problem. Most
of my codes are copy pasted from the LTTng doc sample. Is
there any fix that the LTTng side could do?</p>
