test case

Description of problem:

Seeing 'invalid fastbin entry (free)' errors for a test program that appears to have no bug in it that would legitimately cause such an error. Suspect this may be a bug in the fastbin verification logic.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

glibc-2.12-1.1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Easily

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile and run attached test case
  
Actual results:

Get a crash due to an invalid fastbin within a minute.

Expected results:

No crash.

A smaller test case

This requires use of the -std=c++0x option when compiling but cuts out some of the noise in the test case by replacing the trivial pthread wrapper classes in the previous attachement. Exhibits the same symptoms.

Comment 3 Jeff Needle 2010-05-18 18:41:31 UTC
This is a test blocker for us because it causes significant instability in the messaging broker on RHEL6.

Comment 5 Ulrich Drepper 2010-05-18 21:20:12 UTC
Before anything else is tried, this patch should be added to the RHEL6 glibc and then all tests repeated:
