Hello, Copy/pasting from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=614815
“ I'm having some bash crashes when running libtool. It shows up that the issue is that bash assumes being the only user of sbrk(), and thus caches in memtop the assumed value of brk. However, libc can make use of brk() for its own internal allocations, and thus memtop becomes outdated. The ((char *)p + binsize(nunits) == memtop) then becomes bogus. The attached patch fixes the crashes by simply removing the caching, which is useless anyway since libc already avoids calling the kernel system call when sbrk is given 0. ” Samuel
