> a known bug in the hiredis library that can make Sentinel crash from time to time, but it's not a problem with Sentinel itself

Surely if a bug in a client can crash your server that's a bug in the server by definition even if the client is also buggy?

Sorry I was not clear. Sentinel uses the hiredis C library itself in order to talk with other Redis instances. A bug in the C library crashes the library and the process it is running into.

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Thanks.
