Core lightning crashes with FATAL SIGNAL 11

[ShahanaFarooqui]

Core lightning v24.08 is crashing with FATAL SIGNAL 11 if alias is missing.

Looks like the culprit is *channel->alias[LOCAL]. Are we missing an alias at this time? We should be filling them in if they are missing, but maybe this is a channel loaded from the DB and predates aliases?

in case you would need some data or logs feel free to tell me what should i run and ill post in here.

I am the one who expirienced the issue. Some of those channels can be 2yrs old

I have tried:
reiniating backup - no change
removing gossip.store - no help
clean reflashing of fw of the raspiblitz - no help

I tried to run sudo journalctl -fu clrest if that can help

btw isnt this a very similar issue?

[surfac3]

I tried to update to latest master - CLN v24.08-10-g78b9ccf - #7650

but it did not help

[rustyrussell]

This is a different crash. We are somehow not setting the local alias, presumably a historical channel.

@rustyrussell: How could this have happened if the database migration of b5bd907 had executed?

[surfac3]

I have pulled the latest master and the fix works!

Succesfuly pulled CLN v24.08-13-g5bd3d51 and it purrs like a kitten
