[Bug 316762] Re: strace crashed with SIGABRT in malloc()

[Adrien Nader]

AFAIU, this has been fixed, but maybe not backported to released
versions. Since this was 15 years ago and all these versions are now out
of support anyway, I'm closing this as Fix Released.

** Changed in: strace (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  strace crashed with SIGABRT in malloc()

Status in strace package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: strace

  Everytime I strace quanta, it crashes with:
  *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/strace: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0000000000f11a30 ***

  I attached a full gdb backtrace.
