Just after I enter my password at kdm login screen, kdm_greet prints the following error to syslog: kdm_greet[2551]: Internal error: memory corruption detected Everything goes fine however: I can login successfully and continue to work without any further problem. I do use both a custom kdm theme and a custom splash screen. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.2.7 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r2, 2.6.21-gentoo-mactel x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.21-gentoo-mactel x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7600 @ 2.33GHz Gentoo Base System release 2.0.0_alpha3 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 15 May 2007 12:50:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.32 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.23b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.unina.it/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="it_IT" LC_ALL="it_IT" LINGUAS="it" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/pesa" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X Xaw3d a52 aac acl acpi aim alsa amd64 avahi bash-completion bitmap-fonts blas bluetooth bzip2 cairo caps cddb cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt curl curlwrappers dbus directfb dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode evo exif expat fam fbcon ffmpeg fftw firefox flac ftp gd gdbm gif glut gnutls gpm graphviz hal iconv icq idn ieee1394 imagemagick imlib ipod ipv6 isdnlog jabber java javascript jbig jpeg jpeg2k kde kdeenablefinal kdexdeltas lapack lcms libg++ libsamplerate lirc lm_sensors lua mad mailwrapper matroska midi mikmod mmap mmx mng mp3 mpeg mplayer msn musepack musicbrainz ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg opengl oscar oss pam pcmcia pcre pdf perl plotutils png posix pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection ruby samba sasl sdl session slang sndfile snmp sockets socks5 speex spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl svg tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l vcd vorbis wifi wmf x264 xcomposite xine xinerama xml xorg xpm xv xvid yahoo zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="it" LIRC_DEVICES="inputlirc sir" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx radeon vesa fbdev" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

The only upstream bug mentioning a memory corruption is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143477 which points to http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2006-12/msg00009.html Our glibc isn't pathed accordingly as it seems...
ive added the fix from upstream (thanks for the links Carsten) and it'll be in next glibc version i push out ... not worried too much about this issue since it can easily be worked around by not having a broken /etc/shells in the first place
NOT fixed in glibc-2.5-r3 + kde-base/kdm-3.5.7...
then i dont plan on fixing it for glibc-2.5 try glibc-2.6
Are there any particular reasons why glibc-2.6 has no keywords? I've found the following inside the ebuild: KEYWORDS="" #DO NOT KEYWORD; WAIT FOR 2.6.1 I do not want to install a bugged glibc version just to fix this minor issue...
I still get this bug with glibc-2.6 and kdm-3.5.7. I believe it may be due to this kde bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147454. Gentoo also uses the same broken kdelibs patch as Fedora and Kubuntu: kdelibs-3.5-sudo-permissions.diff. It appears Fedora has dropped the patch.
that's in kde's court now ;)
Bummer. Thanks Joseph. Fixed with kdelibs-3.5.6-r10 and kdelibs-3.5.7-r2.
