Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-09-15 22:34:08 UTC 
That's double free or corruption in perl...
Comment 2 Daniel Drucker 2004-09-16 01:29:50 UTC 
I get the same error when exiting PINE.
Comment 3 Daniel Drucker 2004-09-16 21:12:37 UTC 
My mistake, the PINE thing was something else.

I have narrowed this down to a problem in perl module Term::ReadLine... 
[dmd@eco ~]$ cat tester.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Term::ReadLine;
my $term = new Term::ReadLine::Gnu;
[dmd@eco ~]$ perl tester.pl
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x08107ab0 ***
Aborted
[dmd@eco ~]$
Comment 4 Daniel Drucker 2004-09-16 21:25:01 UTC 
I've sent a note to the listed author of Term::ReadLine::Gnu.
