I'm running into a really bizarre error that seems to have started  
spontaneously (no changes I can think of were made to my system in the  
last few days and mpl was plotting without problems up until a few  
hours ago). When using WxAgg, the following code raises a malloc error.

 >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 >>> plt.plot([0, 1])
 >>> plt.show()

Python(477,0xa0710720) malloc: *** error for object 0x220068: Non- 
aligned pointer being freed
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

This error only occurs on the Wx/WxAgg backends AND when show() is  
called; Qt4Agg, TkAgg, and MacOSX backends work fine.

This error is also generated when starting ipython with the pylab flag  
(and WxAgg set as the default backend).

Sorry I can't give more information about the error itself; I'm not  
sure how to in this case.

Thanks in advance for your help,
-Tony
