[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#516874: libproj problem since last update of glibc

[Didrik Pinte]

Package: proj
Version: 4.6.1-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

I do not know if it is the right place to report this problem but ...

Thus, since last glibc update (glibc (2.9-2) unstable; urgency=low), Thuban
seems to have problem using extension linked to proj.

See the stacktrace here below :

*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000005214e20 ***
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib/libc.so.6[0x7f5d889651b8]

/usr/bin/python(PyEval_EvalFrameEx+0x4e95)[0x4911d5]

I have rebuilded Thuban from scratch to be sure it was not related to old binaries of extensions but the problem is still there.

I can provide more info if needed.
