() from /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1 [...] #25 0x9c93b9f6 in _init () from /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so.1 The proprietary, closed-source nvidia driver is almost undoubtedly the cause of your problem. If anyone who *isn't* using closed-source graphics drivers can reproduce this problem, we might have some hope of debugging that. Otherwise all you can really do is ask nvidia to fix their code. > *** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/firefox-3.1b3/firefox: free(): invalid > pointer: 0xa4958b00 *** > > Is this possibly related to the recent malloc changes in glibc? Can't really tell - but even if it was, only nvidia can fix it. So talk to them. -w -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
