Invalid metadata entry "announce" crashes daemon 1.74 (8994)

[skygunner]

Running transmission-daemon 1.74 (8994) on FreeNAS 0.7 RC1 4735 i386 (FreeBSD 7.2)
I remember previous version if a torrent file is invalid to transmission, it will report as
"xxxxx.torrent is not a valid torrent file.
The torrent file cannot be opened because it contains invalid data." or similar.

But with this version I tried, invalid torrents files always crashes the daemon immediately after I tried to add it.
If I run it fore ground, message is

Code: Select all

[23:41:58.457] 777: Invalid metadata entry "announce"
Floating point exception

The torrent file can be found in the ticket fired here

See ticket 2384(fixed) Crashes when some invalid torrents are added http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/2384

One thread talk about invalid metadata entry "announce" http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtop ... y+announce

Another one http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtop ... y+announce

I can't build the tar ball for 1.75 at this moment, so don't know if 1.75 has fixed this? I want to confirm this before I fire a bug to the developer.

Just found that these torrents files doesn't have a malformed tracker address, they don't have any tracker info/announce entry at all! Only rely on DHT and peer exchange. I think that's why they crashes the daemon.
After adding an announce entry to the torrent file (using BitComet and save as), it can be added to transmission-daemon without problem.
