It shows the obvious signature of heap corruption, a crash in _int_malloc. The bad code could be anywhere; your stack trace does not point to the bad code. It is misleading. To catch an overflow when it happens, right as it is corrupting the heap data structures, you need either valgrind or electric fence. Valgrind works all by itself. Electric fence needs to be used with gdb. |
