Subject: problem with free() and junk pointers?
Sender: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org

Precedence: bulk



I have a three week old current box that I am trying to
get more current but I keep getting the following:

make in free(): warning: modified (chunk-) pointer.
make in free(): warning: junk pointer, too low to make sense.
Segmentation fault - core dumped                                       


This seems to be a random occurance and makes getting through a make world
a wee bit of a pain.

Do I have a bad library or could this be a sign of bad memory?
I dont get the normal "cc died due to signal such and such" so I was
disconting the memory bit but....


Any thoughts on where I should beat raw would be appreciated.
