I am getting this type of error at times on a mail server
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xbffa11b8 ***
While I am researching this more, I am wondering if the rpm-qa | grep glib info above showing different version for kernheaders makes a difference in any way.
There are lots of search hits out there for this yet I am wondering if I should be focusing on a certain glib area or in the application providing the error in the error logs
I'd be looking at the application that triggered that error. Apparently, it tried to 'free()' a memory block that wasn't malloc()'d in the first place.
