Hello all,
While running as a secondary process I received the segmentation fault as
below on FreeBSD 10.3 and dpdk 16.04:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault -

It seems like the le_prev is not a valid address when being accessed from
the secondary process however the same address is valid when accessed from
the primary process (see below). Any idea what is going on here ?
