[htop-general] getting errors sometimes while using htop

[shirish शिरीष <shi...@gm...>]

Hi all,
       First of all thank you for making this nice ncurses based
program. With the recent release though I have been getting these sort
of errors a few times.

$ htop
htop 1.0 aborting. Please report bug at http://htop.sf.net
Backtrace:
htop[0x407c24]
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x324f0)[0x7f309b9cf4f0]
[0x14e9a80]
Aborted

although if I try to go via gdb haven't been able to catch anything abnormal :-

$ gdb htop

As can be seen there are no debugging symbols for htop. I am on Debian sid.

I do have libc6 -dbg installed though.

$ dpkg -S /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
libc6: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

$ aptitude search libc6
