getprotobyname() is trying to allocate memory to return the value, but it fails because the memory is corrupted. As this function works perfectly when called from another program, the most probable reason is that one of the caller is corrupting memory (writing outside of allocated memory, calling free twice on the same area, etc.). Anyway without any easy way to reproduce the problem and given it is closed source software, this bug is a wontfix. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
