Package: man-db
Version: 2.4.3-3
Severity: important

A mail from cron:

/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x080decf8 ***
/etc/cron.daily/man-db: line 33:  3644 Aborted
start-stop-daemon+--start --pidfile /dev/null --startas /usr/bin/mandb
--oknodo --chuid man -- --no-purge --quiet
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/man-db exited with return code 134

It is also easy to reproduce by:

$ sudo /etc/cron.daily/man-db
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x080df540 ***
/etc/cron.daily/man-db: line 33: 19091 Abandon
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /dev/null --startas /usr/bin/mandb
--oknodo --chuid man -- --no-purge --quiet

The bug is also present with libc6 (2.3.6-15) from unstable.

Thanks
