Random frequent crashes : malloc(): mismatching next->prev_size (unsorted)

[ilan-deepreach]

Multiple times per hour my yabar crashes :

malloc(): mismatching next->prev_size (unsorted)
fish: “yabar” terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

I had the same error. Yabar uses a lot of cpu and crashes with:

malloc(): mismatching next->prev_size (unsorted)
[1]    2622 abort (core dumped)  yabar

I tried disabling blocks and I noticed that the error disappear when I disable the volume block:

volume:{
        exec: "YABAR_VOLUME";
        align: "right";
        type: "persist";
        interval: 0.5;
        internal-option1 : "default Master 0";
        internal-option3 : " ";
        internal-suffix: "%";
        underline-color-rgb:0xF51818;
        command-button1: "pavucontrol || alsamixer";
        command-button4: "pactl set-sink-volume 1 +5%";
        command-button5: "pactl set-sink-volume 1 -5%";
    };

and i tried changing interval: 0.5 to interval: 1; and that works for me. You should try something similar to solve your problem.

It appears to me that the crash occurs every time the current minute changes. This is my block configuration:

  time: {
    exec: "YABAR_DATE";
    align: "right";
    justify: "center";
    foreground-color-rgb: 0x2AA198;
    internal-option1: " %H:%M";
    interval: 1;
    fixed-size: 65;
  }

Is there a fix for this yet? I just found this issue but have been having it for a while. Here is what I see when Yabar crashes:

malloc(): mismatching next->prev_size (unsorted)
Aborted (core dumped)

Here is my dotfile (hasn't changed in a long time), I made sure I don't have any decimals in my intervals as @jmvalenciz replied above:

I don't know if this helps anyone, but I get the same error from time to time running on Void Linux.

I used GDB and got this backtrace.

malloc(): mismatching next->prev_size (unsorted)

This makes it unusable to me. I would help debugging the cause.
