Description of problem: I have a perl daemon which reads xml files and pipes the data as CSV stream to a another program, however intermittenly I get glibc/malloc errors comming from /usr/bin/perl. which causes the program to lock up or exit. I'm not sure what part of my perl program produces this result, as it appears random. In any case I get the following in my logs: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/perl: malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: 0x0000000000d87ac0 *** I was hoping it may produce a core file, but i don't think its actually producing a segmentation fault. It also occured on Redhat 6.0 I will try and fine the perl code which is producing this, but it may take a few weeks to produce the fault and capture the debug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I will provide later Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/perl: malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: 0x0000000000d87ac0 *** Expected results: no glibc errors Additional info:
