When I run gaim 1.5.0, after I've signed in on any kind of account, as soon as I try to open an IM window, gaim crashes with this error on the command line: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08424c28 *** With gaim 2.0.0_beta3 it crashes with that same error as soon as I start the program. I've run emerge -e system as well as emerge glibc.. Here's gaim's backtrace (for 1.5.0): Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

I followed the gcc upgrading guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml) and rebuilt some packages, then removed gcc 3.3. I then rebuilt gaim and everything works fine again.

I then rebuilt gaim and everything works fine again. Well.... I'm not really looking forward to rebuilding over 1500 packages just for one gcc switch, so I would appreciate some easier solution to this problem. And I would like to keep my gcc 3.3 around for some time, as I still use it sometimes. After my experiences with bug 136002 I checked for libstdc++.so.5, with no success. I had a look at "emerge -eptv gaim" and emerged many packages that seemed like libs. I also grabbed the /proc/#/maps just before the crash and emerged most packages containing the libs therein. All without success so far. Bug 137045 looks similar but is marked resolved upstream, which would not fit a problem related to compiler switches and some reverse dependency issues. Is it the same problem, and if so, what is the correct way to address it?

My "emerge -e world" is now halfway done, after two days of continuous compilation except where I encountered bugs. It has reached gaim as well, but the error persists. Maybe at least mine is more like bug 137045.

Maybe at least mine is more like bug 137045. I traced my issue to the AIM/ICQ plugin, disabling that prevented the crash. Upgrading to the Gaim 2.0.0 beta 3 solved the problem as well.
