Re^2: Random errors after upgrading 5.10.0 to 5.10.1

Thanks for those tips. The main problem is that the code works most of the time. I don't understand how it would be possible to work most of the time if there were actual problems with the syntax or module incompatibility. I thought it might be related to load but I have been monitoring the server load and the errors do not correlate with that either. I'm a bit lost as to how to actually fix this as I have around 200k lines of code to go through. The site is running on debian squeeze and is in production. I can fix incompatibilty issues if they are logical but random inconsistent errors that don't correlate is pretty tough.

This is how "random errors" happen, some pointer points to the wrong memory, and then there is a crash or .... 5.10 is known buggy, modules compiled for 5.10 could still be vulnerable. If you installed 5.10.1 over 5.10, upgrade all the modules	[reply]
