Description Johannes Meixner 2005-08-30 14:27:14 UTC 
I have 9.3 beta3 mozilla-1.7.11-9 installed on nelson.suse.de

Right now it crashed for the first time during printing
https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=47426
and in the terminal window from which I have started mozilla
there was

*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x43195c57 ***
Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2005-08-30 14:31:46 UTC 
It worked for a second attempt - i.e. I cannot reproduce it.
Comment 2 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-10-19 20:01:01 UTC 
Those glibc error messages occur occasionally. That's strange but I never was able to reproduce it while debugging. (They happen with other applications as well)
