Hello,

I'd like to report some memory faults.
privoxy-3.0.6 on linux-2.6.18 (fedora core 6, glibc-2.5)
dies quite often, as opposed to previous versions -
I have used privoxy for many years now.

I attach two files with valgrind output. What I can not
tell you, is, which of my rules triggered actually
the SIGSEGVs. But the line numbers (-ggdb3) given
by valgrind should be helpful, anyway.

Bye, bye,

Juergen

    Ok, it's me for third time. For the sake of completeness
    here is a - in my opinion - rather useless backtrace
    of glibc-2.5:

    *** glibc detected *** /usr/local/sbin/privoxy: double free or corruption (top): 0x08201938 ***

    Thanks for the report.

    Does the problem go away if you build Privoxy with --disable-dynamic-pcre?

    If it does, it's probably the same problem as:
    https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1621173&group_id=11118&atid=111118
    and should already be fixed in CVS.
