HOWTO: Handling a crash

If you experience a Hiawatha crash or a memory leak, please follow these instructions to help me find the bug:

• Make sure you have the latest version of Hiawatha.
• Install valgrind.
• Recompile Hiawatha without stripping the binary. Its size should be around 750kB instead of the usual 160kB.
• Run Hiawatha via valgrind:

  bash
  sudo valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full ./hiawatha -d 2> valgrind.txt
  

• In case of a crash, reproduce it. In case of a memory leak, run Hiawatha for a while until the leak shows up. Tip: use the tool 'screen' for that.
• Send the valgrind.txt file to hugo at hiawatha dash webserver dot org.

Thanks in advance!
