Hello,
ipmi direct plugin always core dumps for a particular test case in our environment. Backtrace of the problem.

Here I could see that vptr has become NULL and also other int variables like m_num and m_size have become too big. My suspection is somewhere memory has been corrupted.
If there were a valgrind, i could have figured out where exactly the memory has been over written.
