Description

I'm receiving the following assertion when running vlc and tinyproxy:

assertion: z->z_Magic == ZALLOC_SLAB_MAGIC in _slabfree

My vlc was compiled with gcc 4.1.2, and my world is gcc 4.4. vlc hits
this assertion very early, and only runs for a second or so. Here's the
backtrace:

I can't tell if this is a libstdc++, gcc44, or a nmalloc bug.

When I attempt to compile a new version of vlc from pkgsrc, it fails
hitting the same assertion when running lt-vlc-cache-gen as part of the
build process. This also happens with gcc41. The backtrace looks
similar:

I can't seem to find any core file from tinyproxy, but I do see the
assertion pop up on the pty where i started tinyproxy from.

Hi Peter,

it seems to me (if i don't see ghosts) that the problem is at:

#6 0x2ac85455 in operator delete (ptr=0x0)

but if i look in
/usr/src/contrib/gcc-4.4/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/del_op.cc:44
i see:

_GLIBCXX_WEAK_DEFINITION void
operator delete(void* ptr) throw () {
if (ptr)
std::free(ptr);
}

i.e. checking against NULL pointer is done, so it should'nt happen.

I'm not sure what's going on there...

Notice that in #7, you have this=0x2abd81bc and in #5 you have
ptr=0x2abd81bc. Not sure how to explain that...

What happens if you recompile vlc with gcc 4.4?

I can't compile vlc any more. It fails during the build. The 2nd
backtrace is when I attempt to build vlc (it tries to run some program
as part of the build that winds up hitting the assertion).

this seems to me procedure call stack corruption, which i experienced
some times in case of

- writing data out of bounds (array index out of range for example)
- binary mismatch (this case?)

Well, maybe it would be worth fixing vlc compilation with gcc44 if
there's even the suspect of hunting a ghost...

ByE!

We no longer use pkgsrc. Also, invoking vlc or tinyproxy does not trigger this anymore.
