The libs are read-only data and thus never ever flushed back to disk, thus a reboot will fix it. Creating some memory pressure to make the kernel drop the corrupted pages from the cache should make it go away as well. > How to debug this kind of memory corruption? > > garbled by bttv: > > 0035b000 08 00 00 14 00 c0 35 0a f8 03 00 18 08 cc 35 0a |......5.......5.| > 0035b010 08 08 00 14 00 50 0a 03 f8 0b 00 18 08 64 88 0a |.....P.......d..| Could be bt878 risc code. No idea how this makes it into the mozilla libs ...
