Comment 2 Ed Bailey 2004-09-28 16:11:27 UTC
(For those people that lack the special X-ray vision glasses required
to view bug 133266, it contains the following text:)

The glibc in RHEL4 will perform more sanity checks internally in order
to prevent and detect data corruption early. In case that you have a
program from a third party ISV that triggers these corruption checks
you should file a defect report with the vendor of this application
since this indicates a really serious bug; however you can also chose
to accept the data corruption and disable the checks by setting
"MALLOC_CHECK_=0" in the environment.

We should provide an example and show this:

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x0937d008 ***
