Subject: [gentoo-user] glibc memory corruption
Date: Thu, 08 Sep 2011 15:10:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1315465850.27959.55.camel@troll> (raw)

What would cause this?

bunyip rpm # /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/bin/vmware
*** glibc detected *** /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: malloc():
memory corruption: 0x09f35e80 ***
^C
bunyip rpm #

Ive tried doing a emerge -ep world
glibc is 

*  sys-libs/glibc
      Latest version available: 2.12.2
      Latest version installed: 2.12.2
      Size of downloaded files: 16,008 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html
      Description: GNU libc6 (also called glibc2) C library
      License:     LGPL-2

Ive tried vmware 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 from the vmware overlay and various
kernels

google has lots of occurrences but no fixes Ive found.

Next step is to try a newer glibc but I would like to know if there are
any more obvious steps to take first.
