Description Christian Apeltauer 2012-02-27 08:48:29 UTC

gnash-0.8.10 uses a jemalloc version that has the same erratic behaviour as described in Bug #396275 (resulting in an infinite mmap/munmap loop on hardened kernels). To remedy the situation gnash should use system-wide jemalloc which is fixed (personally I used icecat). Therefore please add --disable-jemalloc to the configuration options in the ebuild.
 I filled a bug report upstream under 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?35635
 You can find there also a patch for gnash's jemalloc which would solve the problem.

Reproducible: Always
