Error: multichaind: pthread_create.c:430: start_thread: Assertion `freesize < pd->stackblock_size' failed.

Question

I am going through the tutorial and running the first set of commands. First server is Ubuntu 18.04, second sever is Mint 18.

After running all commands successfully including section 3, I shutdown both servers according to this answer because I wanted to start from scratch.

Now, whenever I repeat the process, I stumble in section 2. Specifically, when I issue:

multichaind chain1@[ipaddress]:[port]

from the second server, I get the error:

Retrieving blockchain parameters from the seed node [<ipaddr>]:[<port>] ...

multichaind: pthread_create.c:430: start_thread: Assertion `freesize < pd->stackblock_size' failed.

And cannot get past this.

Any ideas?

Thanks for reporting this. It certainly looks like a bug. What version of MultiChain are you using and how much RAM is installed on your server?

Thank you for the reply!

The first server (where the chain is created) has 16GB, the second one (where the error appears) has 8GB.

Both running latest multichain version (2.0.1).

Edit: seems to be working now, I can't recreate. Will repost if necessary.

OK, thanks. Please let us know.
