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 ...".

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