Hey guys,

More detail on the malloc bug.  I've been able to almost consistently 
reproduce it on my gcc 4.4.x/cvs mintlib aranym system.  The package 
that most consistently produces it is an rpm --rebuild of rcs.  It dies 
like this:

/usr/include/ctype.h:76:1: warning: this is the location of the previous 
definition
gcc  -g -O ident.o rcsmap.o version.o  -o ident
gcc -c  -Dhas_conf_h  -I. -I. -g -O merge.c
make: ../mintlib/malloc.c:187: __free: Assertion `s == r' failed.
make: *** [install] Error 134
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.54754 (%install)
root@arawork:/h/srpms>

Importantly, it has done this before, and now it is doing this every 
time I try.  I'm assuming that if I reboot the problem will be gone.  If 
it's not then we're really talking.  But on this system I have done 
NOTHING more than start xaaes and do package builds so the problem lies 
within those facilities.  Next time I will not start xaaes.

Thanks,
Mark
