Crash trying to GetCountry about geoip HOT 7 CLOSED

I think this had something to do with the way I was trying to use this library... This crash happened in a docker container. Outside the container it works fine.

It looks like if I use godep go build -a github.com/abh/geoip it works, but if I set my GOPATH to the _workspace directory manually and just do go build -a github.com/abh/geoip without godoep, it fails.

This seems like more of a general go/godep issue. Feel free to close this issue.

Actually after running this a few times I realized that sometimes it prints

Error Traversing Database for ipnum = 3484092211 - Perhaps database is corrupt?
Error Traversing Database for ipnum = 2130706433 - Perhaps database is corrupt?

and other times it crashes and it has nothing to do with godop. It's just a race condition.

It appears you are trying to use a GeoIP2/GeoLite2 database with this library. This library only supports the Legacy format, which you can find at http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/.

Oh, I see. That makes sense. Is there a way to check the format and return an error?

It turns out this is an issue with libGeoIP and GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE mode that causes a segault. This isn't a bug with the Go library.

@vikstrous, the segfault was fixed in libGeoIP 1.6.7. Should this issue be closed now?
