Bug#924496: 'realloc(): invalid next size: 0x000055a779ef2170' crash when opening iPod w/ ~12000 tracks

[Bernhard Übelacker]

Hello Fred Korz,
I just tried to get some more information out of backtrace,
without having an iPod or being involved on packaging rhythmbox...

But am I right this "Debian Release: rodete" is a version
of gLinux - Googles internal rebuild of Debian testing?
Can this be downloaded somewhere?

And are there debug symbols available for installation?
In Debian these packages are available in a separate
repository [1] and are named like this:

    rhythmbox-dbgsym librhythmbox-core10-dbgsym libglib2.0-0-dbgsym libtdb1-dbgsym

If yes, you could try to install them and run rhythmbox
like this and provide the output:

    gdb -q -ex 'set width 0' -ex 'set pagination off' -ex 'run' -ex 'bt' -ex 'detach' -ex 'quit' --args /usr/bin/rhythmbox

As this fault seems to be inside the memory allocator, maybe
setting "export MALLOC_CHECK_=2" might reveal some more details?

Can this fault be reproduced on a plain Debian testing, too?

Kind regards,
Bernhard
