bug#12621: Emacs 24.1 crashing on Win7

[Arunas Ruksnaitis]

Can reproduce easily. No joy with symbol values:

"print fname" or "print machine:

(gdb) down

#34 0x0102a12d in get_name_and_id ()

(gdb) print machine

No symbol "machine" in current context.

(gdb) print mp

No symbol "mp" in current context.

(gdb) print fname

No symbol "fname" in current context.

 

The "machine" part of UNC is actually not a machine but a DFS server. It does not have own shares but consolidates multiple fileservers in one view.

No, I don't think the Sid can be invalid, because it is validated just
before the call that crashes, by calling IsValidSid:

  if (what == UID)
    result = get_security_descriptor_owner (psd, &sid, &dflt);
  else if (what == GID)
    result = get_security_descriptor_group (psd, &sid, &dflt);
  else
    result = 0;

  if (!result || !is_valid_sid (sid))  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    use_dflt = 1;
  else if (!w32_cached_id (sid, id, nm))
    {
      /* If FNAME is a UNC, we need to lookup account on the
    specified machine.  */
      if (IS_DIRECTORY_SEP (fname[0]) && IS_DIRECTORY_SEP (fname[1])
      && fname[2] != '\0')
    {
      const char *s;
      char *p;

      for (s = fname + 2, p = machine;
          *s && !IS_DIRECTORY_SEP (*s); s++, p++)
        *p = *s;
      *p = '\0';
      mp = machine;
    }

      if (!lookup_account_sid (mp, sid, name, &name_len,
                  domain, &domain_len, &ignore)
      || name_len > UNLEN+1)

I actually suspect that the problem might be in the server name, the
first argument to lookup_account_sid.  If you can easily reproduce
this under GDB, can you show what is the value of 'fname' and of
'machine' in the above snippet?
