Description of problem:
pluma periodically crashes with "*** Error in `/usr/bin/pluma': malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: 0x08b68458 ***"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mate-text-editor-1.6.0-5.fc19.i686

How reproducible:
90% of the time I use it. Usually after saving and/or scrolling around. Sometimes it'll happen a few times in a half hour period. Other times it doesn't happen at all.

That is glibc *detecting* a memory corruption, which is usually caused by writing over freed memory or a heap buffer overflow or something similar.  It is not a bug *in* glibc.

upstream is informed.

upstream has closed the issue!
"Closing... Unluckily there are no enough info to reproduce the problem. Feel free to re-open if there will be more info"

Feel free to report directly at  the upstream report if you have more info.
