In the meanwhile, my company has been having some segmentation faults.
We cant reproduce it.
After, we check the generated core-dumps, we saw that somehow a channel header points to a bad addr, and when FS tries to create the Event, crash, as the code does not have safety checks, if headers are "invalid".
Example:
This is the backtrace:
backtrace.log
simple bt output:
This PR, acts only as a precaution, and bypassing the "bad headers". The Event will not be created with these "bad headers", if they exist, other than that, seems safety, the proposed logic.
