glibc invalid pointer

Comment:

I was installing Firefox on my Mandriva LE 2005 and after the first dialog box pop up, this error came along "*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08ea5550 *** " . I have tried to reload in glibc and glibc-deve but did not help.. Is this a s/w bug or????

A change appears to have been made in the glibc code. The default response to invalid 'free()' calls is now to call 'abort()'. To get around this try putting the following in /etc/profile export MALLOC_CHECK_=1 # Report error and continue OR export MALLOC_CHECK_=0 # Ignore error The fault appears to be in the application you are running. Might be worthwhile reporting the app provider. Home this helps. Iain
