Bug 87453 – newt-0.50.35 is broken, linked apps crash with a double free warning

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2005-03-31 12:18:14 UTC]

I have found that apps linked with newt-0.50.35 crash with the new and more strict glibc. The typical output is "glibc detected *** double free or corruption ...".

I have tried newt-0.51.6 and all works as expected (http://dev.gentoo.org/~xmerlin/misc/newt-0.51.6.tar.gz)

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
linked apps crash sometimes

Christian, the package has no metadata.xml, so if you would like to be its maintainer, please take it and create a metadata.xml for it with you listed.  Also, please search bugzilla and take all the newt/newt-related bugs.

Thanks,

ok I'll take it

[Comment 4 Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2005-04-01 05:52:36 UTC]

newt-0.51.6 is in cvs now.
I marked it stable on x86 to close this severe bug.
