glibc error: corrupted double-linked list

[Fabio Comolli]

Hi all.
With latest rawhide (glibc-2.4.90-26 and firefox-1.5.0.6-9) I
experimented some random firefox hangs.
Running firefox from command line I got the attached trace.
Kernel is 2.6.18-rc4-mm1.
Please let me know if you need more details.

glibc-2.4.90-26 is not latest rawhide.  Please upgrade to
glibc-2.4.90-28 where this bug should be fixed.

If you verify the problem is gone with glibc-2.4.90-28, sure.
Generally, when these errors show up, it is an application bug,
only in between glibc-2.4.90-22 and 2.4.90-26 inclusive
there have been bugs in malloc itself which caused the
error to show up in some cases where >= 10000 free(3) calls
have not been interleaved with any {m,c,re}alloc(3)
calls.
