I need help fixing a crash of the OCaml application unison. It only crashes on my 32 bit embedded mips device, for which I compiled unison on an OCaml-4.02.3 cross-compiler with -custom (NATIVE=false UISTYLE=text).
Unison crashes when syncing files and a file changed on both hosts in different ways. unison asks then for an action, and crashes if I hit l or x. This is reproducable even with two local folders on the embedded device. I cannot reproduce this on my x86_64 linux host, so it's not a simple unison bug. It's maybe related to the cross-compiler or maybe the cross-compiler uncovers a bug in unison.
To Reproduce:
root@test:/tmp# mkdir unison1 unison2
root@test:/tmp# echo a > unison1/test.txt
root@test:/tmp# echo b > unison2/test.txt
root@test:/tmp# unison unison1 unison2

Looking for changes
Warning: No archive files were found for these roots, whose canonical names are:
/tmp/unison1
/tmp/unison2
This can happen either
because this is the first time you have synchronized these roots,
or because you have upgraded Unison to a new version with a different
archive format.
Update detection may take a while on this run if the replicas are
large.
Unison will assume that the 'last synchronized state' of both replicas
was completely empty. This means that any files that are different
will be reported as conflicts, and any files that exist only on one
replica will be judged as new and propagated to the other replica.
If the two replicas are identical, then no changes will be reported.
If you see this message repeatedly, it may be because one of your machines
is getting its address from DHCP, which is causing its host name to change
between synchronizations. See the documentation for the UNISONLOCALHOSTNAME
environment variable for advice on how to correct this.
