Description Marco Nierlich 2006-07-18 04:58:40 UTC

xfce4-panel crashes with the following exception:

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08264d80 ***

I already tried to remerge xfce4-panel but it does not solve the problem. 2 days ago, I updated my system to xorg-x11-7.0-r1 and from glibc-2.3.6-r3 to -r4.

Could you please test with the most recent stable version of glibc?

I don't plan to migrate to 2.4 (yet) but with 2.3.6-r5 it does not happen anymore. Don't know since when it's solved but xfce4-panel doesn't crash anymore.

In that case, marking as fixed. Thanks for reporting back.
