[CentOS] glibc error ???
On a centos 4.6 box rpm -qa | grep glib glib-1.2.10-15 glibc-2.3.4-2.39 glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.39 glibc-common-2.3.4-2.39 dbus-glib-0.22-12.EL.9 glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.100.EL glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.39 glib2-2.4.7-1 I am getting this type of error at times on a mail server *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xbffa11b8 *** While I am researching this more, I am wondering if the rpm-qa | grep glib info above showing different version for kernheaders makes a difference in any way. There are lots of search hits out there for this yet I am wondering if I should be focusing on a certain glib area or in the application providing the error in the error logs - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

RE: [CentOS] glibc error ???
I'd be looking at the application that triggered that error. Apparently, it tried to 'free()' a memory block that wasn't malloc()'d in the first place. ___ Thank you John and Ignacio and others, So, since this box has been online for like 2 or 3 years, since like centos 4.0 or 4.1 load with multiple yum updates, I am guessing a recompile of that app should make the difference? ;- Or is that way off base? I really couldn't imagine finding the bad code yet ill try if necessary - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

No. You need to find out where the memory is being double-freed and remove the appropriate free() call. That or set it to NULL once freed. -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE don't CC me; I'm already subscribed signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
