BUG: irssi-0.8.10 quit error / malloced

[itabtabai@…]

Second that. irssi: Client: irssi 0.8.10 (20051211 1015) I've been syncing almost every other day, though it might be related to deps. gettext has been updated, but the problem presists. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #9380 +++

irssi 0.8.10_0 builds correctly and run correctly. Only on exiting the program do I receive this error:

irssi(21816) malloc: * Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x3f9470; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug irssi(21816) malloc: * Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x3f93c0; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug irssi(21816) malloc: * Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x3f93d8; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug irssi(21816) malloc: * Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x3f9440; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug

I am assuming it is some sort of compile error but I'm not that accomplished a programmer to understand where or what to change.

That message indicates a bug in irssi (one that is potentially harmful on linux, but not on Mac OS X).

I'm not sure what you mean by "originally a clone of 9380". Isn't this is a duplicate of 9380? If so one or the other irssi bugs need to be closed. As dluke says I think we'll have to wait for a bug fix from the irssi developers.

Committed a patch that fixes this.
