[PD] *** glibc detected *** ubuntu 6.06

[geiger]

Hi Ed,

I doubt that it is a problem with debian (regardless of my post back

Looks like corrupted memory in one of the objects that you are using.

Memory corruption bugs are not easily detectable, but there are tools
for detecting them, like valgrind.
