Package: libjemalloc1 Version: 3.6.0-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Running the hiredis tests on powerpc causes redis-server to crash due to what appears to be strange memory corruption issues. Upon further investigation on the partch.debian.org porterbox, I've managed to convince myself that the issue lies somewhere in the Debian jemalloc package. Additional (hopefully useful) info is available in my comment against https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788591 Key information from #788591: If I link redis-server against the jemalloc-3.6.0-3 binary found in unstable & run against that, I can trivially reproduce the redis-server crashes by simply running "make check" in the hiredis package. If I rebuild jemalloc-3.6.0-3 from source then run redis-server against the resulting binaries, the mysterious crashes/memory corruption issues go away. Any thoughts? Only thing that occurs to me is perhaps some kind of compiler bug: I notice that jemalloc-3.6.0-3 was built with gcc 4.9.1-5 while my porterbox schroot would have built the package using gcc 4.9.2-21. Happy to offer any additional info I can to confirm/reject my hypothesis while I still have access to the porterbox, just let me know what you need.
