Possible Memory Allocation Error - corrupted size vs. prev_size

Open Daggema opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

After running Yabar for a few minutes the process invariably crashes and returns the following error:

corrupted size vs. prev_size Aborted (core dumped)

After doing some research it seems this error might be indication of a memory allocation issue in the C code:

Not sure if this is something only I've encountered or if anyone else has had it but seems like it might be worthwhile investigating.

I can confirm this issue, running Arch Linux on several different laptops. Sometimes yabar runs for hours, and sometimes it crashes after a few minutes already. I don't see an obvious rule as to when this happens, however.

+1 Also having this problem on arch, usually crashed within a couple minutes.
