Public bug reported: uim-xim, part of the uim package, has a nasty tendency to bomb out in free:
** glibc detected *** uim-xim: free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x084b0498 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7c1fa85] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(cfree+0x90)[0xb7c234f0] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7bcc037] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(iconv_close+0x1c)[0xb7bcb61c] uim-xim[0x805d54b] uim-xim[0x805e5e3] uim-xim[0x805e970] uim-xim[0x805ea34] uim-xim[0x8056a2f] uim-xim[0x805542b] uim-xim[0x8051a40] uim-xim[0x8051aff] uim-xim[0x804bdd9] uim-xim[0x804c4ba] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0)[0xb7bca450] uim-xim(__gxx_personality_v0+0x115)[0x804b211] ======= Memory map: ======== 08048000-08068000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 7062081 /usr/bin/uim-xim 08068000-08069000 rw-p 0001f000 08:01 7062081 /usr/bin/uim-xim 08069000-084e0000 rw-p 08069000 00:00 0 [heap] b6300000-b6321000 rw-p b6300000 00:00 0 b6321000-b6400000 ---p b6321000 00:00 0 b6432000-b64bb000 rw-p b6432000 00:00 0 b64bb000-b64d3000 r--s 00000000 00:09 99516436 /SYSV00000000 (deleted) [rest of memory map elided] I'd note that the version of uim in hardy, 1.4.1, is relatively ancient; http://code.google.com/p/uim/ indicates 1.5.1 is now out. It'd probably be far easier to just upgrade the package than to try and figure out what's going on in 1.4.1. ** Affects: uim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- uim-xim bombs out in free() (and the uim version is old.) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240804 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
