Here are answers to some question directed to me earlier: > Could you attach the log from "strace -f -o strace.log ~/aioWrite"? Sorry, can't do that. strace is not installed and I don't have root access. If this is still needed I will ask admin to add strace. > Do the other machines have the same kernel (4.15.0-20-generic)? No, other machines use kernel 4.15.0-39-generic. > Have you tried running the binary built on a successful machine on the problematic machine? Yes, same effect - segmentation fault. bt from gdb is identical too. > valgrind might also be a good idea. alpine-tmp-0:~$ strace -f ./aioWrite -sh: strace: not found alpine-tmp-0:~$ valgrind valgrind valgrind-di-server valgrind-listener alpine-tmp-0:~$ valgrind ./aioWrite ==70339== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==70339== Copyright (C) 2002-2015, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==70339== Using Valgrind-3.11.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==70339== Command: ./aioWrite ==70339== ==70339== Invalid free() / delete / delete[] / realloc() ==70339== at 0x4C92B0E: free (vg_replace_malloc.c:530) ==70339== by 0x4020248: reclaim_gaps (dynlink.c:478) ==70339== by 0x4020CD0: map_library (dynlink.c:674) ==70339== by 0x4021818: load_library (dynlink.c:980) ==70339== by 0x4022607: load_preload (dynlink.c:1075) ==70339== by 0x4022607: __dls3 (dynlink.c:1585) ==70339== by 0x4021EDB: __dls2 (dynlink.c:1389) ==70339== by 0x401FC8E: ???
