Im runing znc on ubuntu 14.04 lts , compiled it from source. 1.6.2 was working fine compiled from source too using official releases both times. After upgrading to 1.6.3 znc is crashing. Steps to reproduce: start znc from command line, top lists it on process list, webui works. Then i try to connect to bounces using mirc from local machine (ZNC runs on remote server) and it dies. Guys from #znc told me that this info might be useful for investigating whats going on http://pastebin.com/A3HbQKrB

May you show last lines of znc -D before the crash?
What modules do you have loaded?

Yup, you should start znc with znc -D and then make it crash. You will get lots of output from ZNC (which could also include passwords, so don't copy everything blindly). We are interested in this output (at least the last part of it, let's say... the last 100 lines?)

From discussion on IRC:
There was an external module built for 1.6.2. The crash was fixed after rebuilding that module.
Though update between 1.6.x versions should require rebuild...
