Re: [Fwd: [zebra 982] Re: OSPFd coredump (glibc2.1 related?)]



The description you give sounds like a classical error: Writing beyond
the memory that has been allocated.  If even lefence complains, you
should investigate why it complains.

All known cases where glibc segfaults in chunk_alloc come from
corruption of the internal data structures of malloc.  Run the binary
with MALLOC_CHECK_ set to 1 or 2 in the environment and see what
happens.
