[Valgrind-users] Meaning of "Thread N return signal frame corrupted. Killing process."

[Kerrick S. <ma...@ke...>]

Hello,

The following message appears in Valgrind's output:

Thread 5 return signal frame corrupted. Killing process.

What exactly does this message mean? It looks like the thread attempted to
dereference a NULL pointer immediately before the message was printed, so
I'm guessing that the message just serves to inform the user that the
thread segfaulted and so the process is now exiting.
