Whiteboard:	glib-2.76 removed its "slice allocator" which covered up memory allocation bugs; these failures are likely bugs in your package

Description Sam James archtester

glib-2.76 drops slice and switches to the system's malloc instead.

This causes some bugs in glib consumers to be exposed. ASAN or Valgrind can help debug these issues.

mcabber-1.1.2-r1 with glib-2.76.0
When running mcabber, it crashes giving the following message

malloc(): unsorted double linked list corrupted Aborted

At the time of compiling mcabber-1.1.2-r1 with glib-2.76.0 everything was normal, unfortunately I have not saved the build logs.

Only solution was UD to glib-2.74.6.
