(Sue Blake summarized what she found in the mailing list archives on 02-May-1998) I am getting them almost non stop recently in two applications. They are not the same bug mentioned in the pr-database - kern/6858 (I don't think), but may be related. These are the two I get all the time: free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense. free(): warning: page is already free. It happens in xmysqladmin 0.4.4 and licq 0.42 daily (hourly?). It seems to be harmless, but is annoying. The apps don't crash, for sure. I am running 2.2.7-STABLE #0: Wed Aug 12 04:48:42 EDT 1998. Can I do anything to provide someone with more knowlege of the memory system any help?
