[sleuthkit-users] Unable to run srch_strings

[Tom Y. <to...@ya...>]

Hello,
I have an Ubuntu 14.04.02 at work, and I've compiled sleuthkit from source
(off the github repo).  Most of the tools run without any issues, however
I'm not able to run srch_strings against any file (I even tried it against
the NEWS.txt file in the TSK source directory).  When I do, I get the
following error:

*** Error in `srch_strings': double free or corruption (fasttop): <hex
address>

The hex address changes each time so I'm assuming it's a memory address.

Regular strings (the program) on the system works fine.

I've never run into this error before on any of my systems so I'm not sure
where to start looking for the problem.

Thanks,
Tom
