Hi, running BBkeys 0.9.0-4 with Blackbox 0.70.1. I
have tried both the debian package and compile from
source and get the following...

~/installs/bbkeys-0.9.0$ bbkeys

bbkeys: ScreenHandler: in findSupportingWM.
bbkeys: ScreenHandler: first readSupportingWMCheck
succeeded.
bbkeys: ScreenHandler: second readSupportingWMCheck worked.
bbkeys: ScreenHandler: Found compatible window manager:
[Blackbox] for screen: [0].
bbkeys: ScreenHandler: Supported atoms: [45].
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer:
0x0808c3f0 ***
Aborted (core dumped)

kernel 2.6.13

Debian Unstable

Everything worked fine until I did a apt-get upgrade
last week.

Thanks

    in the cut and paste above I was executing the deb package
    binary (in path), however i also ran ./bbkeys in the src dir
    to check the compiled version. Also removed the deb package
    and make install'd and ran from clean config files.

    I had a similar problem using bbkeys under FreeBSD-7-
    Current. The C++ allocator seems to not be initializing
    the memory for bbkeys to NULL, most likely as a system
    debugging feature. Anyways, I found to likely culprits in
    KeyClient.cpp because _keybindings and config_check_timer
    were assumed to be NULL, but were not. The diff is against
    KeyClient.cpp in source release of 0.9.0.
