Informix - Problem description

Problem IT33659 Status: Closed

MEMORY CORRUPTION POSSIBLE WHEN STMT_CACHE AND EXT_DIRECTIVES BOTH ENABLED
AND QUERY WITH A SUBQUERY.

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10
Problem description:
The problem is the server referencing freed memory, which could
possibly be used as just about anything so stack traces and such
could vary.  However, customer saw this stack trace multiple
times:

(oninit)afsig_handler
(oninit)isenter
(oninit)rsstart
(oninit)fmstart
(oninit)extd_search
(oninit)dir_sp2cb
(oninit)sel2cb
(oninit)subq2cb
(oninit)subq2expr
(oninit)expr2expr
(oninit)buildexpr
(oninit)expr2expr
(oninit)cond2expr
(oninit)sel2cb
(oninit)qblk2cb
(oninit)stmt2cb
(oninit)p_sp2cb
(oninit)ssc_link
(oninit)IPRA.$parsecmd
(oninit)IPRA.$sqcmd
(oninit)sq_cmnd
(oninit)sq_prepare
(oninit)sqmain
(oninit)listen_verify
(oninit)spawn_thread
(oninit)th_init_initgls
(oninit)startup

In the $ONCONFIG file both STMT_CACHE and EXT_DIRECTIVES were
enabled with the following values:

EXT_DIRECTIVES 2
STMT_CACHE 2

Failing thread was also showing as trying to processes a query
that had a subquery in it, like this:

Current SQL statement (1) :
  select nvl(max(ess_sr_no),0) from enc_str_stage where
ess_sr_no in (select
    ecs_ess_sr_no from enc_cpr_stage)
