glibc detected *** double free or corruption at start up of "nautilus  --no-desktop --browser" with nautilus-2.10.0 

nathan@nebula [~] $ nautilus --no-desktop --browser

(nautilus:11552): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory scalable/emblems of theme Flat-Blue has no size field

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x082b7128 ***

[Comment 1 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-07-02 12:08:06 UTC]

Please include your:
emerge info
version of nautilus you are running
emerge -av nautilus ( so we can see what use flags you compiled it with)

Does nautilus crash after this? or is this simply a warning message?

[Comment 2 Matteo Bertozzi 2005-07-02 22:06:18 UTC]

when I try to run nautilus with '--no-desktop --browser' nautilus crash with
double free or corruption message...

I too am getting this message:

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x000000000092db10 ***


...and Nautilus is frozen. If you move part of it offscreen, you wipe away the
colors, leaving a white box in a frame.

[Comment 4 Stefano 2005-08-13 14:09:16 UTC]

in an unrelated problem someone pointed out to me that:
export MALLOC_CHECK_=0

deactivates this check of the glibc. Try it as a workaround, but I'd definitely
wait for a fix.

[Comment 5 Jeffrey Gardner (RETIRED) 2005-08-13 14:46:12 UTC]

I tried that but nautilus still crashed on me.

[Comment 6 Stefano 2005-08-14 07:19:29 UTC]

(In reply to comment #5)
> I tried that but nautilus still crashed on me.

You tried that in a console and then opened nautilus from _that_ console ? It's
just for the single session you are in...

[Comment 7 Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) 2006-01-02 18:08:53 UTC]

Cant reproduce on current stable.  Can you still reproduce this problem with the current version of nautilus? (2.10.1-r1).
