I'm not sure if this is related, but I get a "double free or corruption (fasttop)" error trying to do systemctl disable as non-root user. This is on a fresh debian sid VM which reports systemd 215-5+b1, with Docker Inc's official (non-debian) lxc-docker-1.20 package installed:

Nonetheless, it'd be nice if it died less horribly than this just because I accidentally ran systemctl as a non-root user... reportbug info below. ckage: systemd Version: 215-5+b1 Severity: important Tags: upstream -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii acl 2.2.52-2 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-53.4 ii libacl1 2.2.52-2 ii libaudit1 1:2.4-1 ii libblkid1 2.20.1-5.11 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libcap2 1:2.24-6 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.24-6 ii libcryptsetup4 2:1.6.6-1 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.2-4 ii libkmod2 18-3 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii libsystemd0 215-5+b1 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-53.4 ii udev 215-5+b1 ii util-linux 2.20.1-5.11 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus 1.8.8-1+b1 pn libpam-systemd <none> Versions of packages systemd suggests: pn systemd-ui <none>
