BUG: attempt to free already free storage

BUG: attempt to free already free storage

[Matthias Kopfermann]

hi,
this morning when i wanted to log into my computer
with cvs-zsh, i got:
BUG: attempt to free already free storage
it was shouting over and over again like in a loop.
when i try to use control-c, i get:
some strange sign and parse error.
also my history says i have actually only 1 when i have
42208.

no idea what's causing this, i just wanted to tell you about
it.

There appears to be nothing basically wrong with the configuration
you're using, so we'll need much more detail about what's actually going
wrong to do anything.

Try recompiling from scratch (make distclean, ./configure, make).

BUG: attempt to free already free storage

[Matthias Kopfermann]

hi!
Today I experienced for the first time a loop of the
message when i wanted to log into my cvs-zsh-version:
BUG: attempt to free already free storage
and when i tried to make it stop with control-c it showed a strange sign
and then something with "zsh: parse error" in it.
I then cvs -z3 updated my zsh-cvs version.
and now everything seems to be okay again.
( It did not happen the other day with the same cvs-zsh
version. )
I have no idea what happened, I just wanted to tell you.

something to add perhaps:
i configured my zsh with:
./configure --enable-locale --enable-pcre --enable-zsh-debug
--enable-zsh-mem-debug --enable-zsh-mem-warning
--enable-zsh-mem

the message after the try to stop the loop was a loop
itself so i had to use screens control-a k to kill the
window and the shell.

something to add perhaps to myself:
i configured my zsh with:
./configure --enable-locale --enable-pcre --enable-zsh-debug --enable-zsh-mem-debug --enable-zsh-mem-warning --enable-zsh-mem

the message after the try to stop the loop was a loop
itself so i had to use screen's control-a k to kill the
window and the shell.
