Miranda (#16716) freezes if DNS points to IPv6 address

[uncajesse]

I updated to the latest nightly this morning (0.95.5 alpha build #16716) and Miranda hangs/freezes when any of my protocols try to connect.

If I have them all set to Offline, I can still open the Options window. Once one (or more) tries to connect, trying to open the Options window completely hangs the contact list. Also, the protocol icons that normally spin to show they are connecting do show up but they don't spin.

The Updater plugin and CrashDumper plugins *do* still work (while using networking) however (but only before a protocol tries to connect, no way to try it after from the contact list).

I tried rolling back the update from the backup (and 0.95.4 stable), and I tried several database backups from the last few days. That had no effect on the problem.

I did have a Windows Update waiting for a reboot, and rebooted this morning right before Miranda updated, so I'm thinking that could have had something to do with this. The updates that finished this morning are:

So far there's no problems with any other software on the system today.

[edit] corrected topic title [/edit]

[uncajesse]

Hmm... after grabbing some lunch (and catching up with breakfast) I'm noticing... Miranda is binding to an IPv6 address. How can I make it not do that? The connection also has a normal IPv4 address on it.

[Robyer]

I'm experiencing same problem for few days already. I first realized that when I was fixing FB plugin at saturday.

Windows 10, recently installed system updates too. I'm wondering what's the cause...

[Vulpix]

I'm on W10 x64 10586.164 and miranda x86 #16720, and I have no issues and I have not had any so far, so it's possible that it's caused by the new W10 update (10586.218). I'll check this.


EDIT: copied my miranda to my VM where 10586.218 (with latest updates) is, no issues. Maybe whatever this was had been fixed by the recent changes?

Does talk.google.com (for instance) resolve to an IPv6 address on your system? It does here, 2607:f8b0:4003:c18::7d with rDNS talk.l.google.com.

[Robyer]

Yeah, it seems fixed in build from yesterday/today. I hope.

but I'm going to try the 3 Windows updates that I see this morning, before I start uninstalling the updates from yesterday one by one.

One of today's Winddows updates... "This update improves the reliability of Journal.dll by removing unused code." ... no comment. 

[uncajesse]

Sorry to reply so late. I tried rolling back those updates. It didn't fix the problem.

I would think there's a way to specify to whatever API that Miranda specifically wants an IPv4 address from it?

Or is Miranda normally able to work with IPv6 and the bug is something else related?

For what it's worth... I'm able to connect to ICQ, which my dns server resolves to an IPv4 address (and I'm guessing doesn't try to connect to any other IPv6 addresses while logging in). But I have to wait till it connects, or else it'll freeze if I go to the Options while it's connecting.

[uncajesse]

I just noticed that this other topic was started within a day of mine and within a few build numbers. Could this somehow be related?

"Last Dev builds fail connecting through proxy"
http://forum.miranda-ng.org/index.php?topic=4601.0

[Robyer]

Do you still have this freezing problem with latest build? Mentioned proxy issue was fixed.

[uncajesse]

Still not connecting, and going to options freezes the contact list.

Only ICQ does connect. Yahoo, Jabber, Facebook doesn't. I should probably disable the AIM plugin for now too.

Yahoo does show a tiny bit of network traffic in process explorer, but then stops. None of the others show any traffic in process explorer. (obviously a pcap would be better, in case process explorer doesn't show DNS requests)

Of course there's the possibility that this isn't IPv6 related.

Here's the shortest of the call stack that shows up almost all the time, only the offset for "mir_app.mir!Clist_GroupDelete+0x[whatever]" changes for these.

But sometimes it's different. More often than other changes, there's Winsock calls just below (in the list) Clist_GroupDelete.

There's other times the stack is showing exception & error related calls...

Hopefully that's enough to see a pattern that catches someone's attention. If you need I can clean up a copy of my database and just remove the Contacts and the personal info from the protocol tables.

[Robyer]

You should try new clean Miranda profile if you experience freezes after opening options.

[uncajesse]

I did that, and only imported contacts and history, NOT settings, and almost the same thing happens. The animated spinning connection icons (which aren't the same i was using but still animate/spin) actually stay animated now. But nothing ever connects, and it still freezes when I go to the options window (which never actually displays btw).

Using the latest nightly.

Is there a way to import the contacts and history but not the accounts, and then re-associate the contacts/history with new recreations of the accounts? Assuming it's worth trying that, if it's possible something in every single account section is causing this.

[Robyer]

uncajesse, did you tried really clean profile without importing anything and manually creating your new accounts? It might be contact's or history data, that is somehow broken. Can you open options in completely clean profile without accounts or anything? Can you connect to single protocol you newly create?

You need to really separate the causes of this issue. You should even try completely clean basic Miranda - without any additional plugin (just the installer/zip package with core plugins). Try everything on clean Miranda. If it works, then keep adding your plugins until it breaks.
