INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / B70 - IDS 11.70

In certain circumstances, cdr check repl will look through the 
indices associated with a replicate table and if the owner of a 
unique index is an empty string, the process will report a 
segmentation violation and halt without reporting a meaningful 
error message. 
 
Using a debugger, the stack at the time of the segmentation 
violation is: 
 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 
in __strlen_sse42 () from /lib64/libc.so.6 
(gdb) where 
#0  in __strlen_sse42 () from /lib64/libc.so.6 
#1  in stringCpy () 
#2  in findIdx () 
#3  in getPKCols () 
#4  in checkRepl () 
#5  in cdr_check () 
#6  in check_repl () 
#7  in main () 
 
This indicates the SEGV happened in a call made to strlen() from 
the stringCpy() function and is a good indicator of this 
problem.

Workaround: Fix the index owner value.  The best way is to 
identify the unique index or constraint, drop it and recreate it 
with a valid owner (i.e. not an empty owner string).  The 
following SQL might help: 
 
select * from sysindices where tabid in (select tabid from 
systables where tabname="replicate_table_name_here"); 
select * from sysconstraints where tabid in (select tabid from 
systables where tabname="replicate_table_name_here");
