Hey guys,
More detail on the malloc bug. I've been able to almost consistently
reproduce it on my gcc 4.4.x/cvs mintlib aranym system. The package
that most consistently produces it is an rpm --rebuild of rcs. It
dies like this:
/usr/include/ctype.h:76:1: warning: this is the location of the
previous definition
gcc -g -O ident.o rcsmap.o version.o -o ident
gcc -c -Dhas_conf_h -I. -I. -g -O merge.c
make: ../mintlib/malloc.c:187: __free: Assertion `s == r' failed.
make: *** [install] Error 134
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.54754 (%install)
root@arawork:/h/srpms>
Importantly, it has done this before, and now it is doing this every
time I try. I'm assuming that if I reboot the problem will be gone.
If it's not then we're really talking. But on this system I have done
NOTHING more than start xaaes and do package builds so the problem
lies within those facilities. Next time I will not start xaaes.
Thanks,
Mark
