Liferea dies with sqlite 3.5



tag 446050 help
thanks

The current version of liferea in Debian unstable (1.4.3-1), as well
as the latest upstream version (1.4.5) fail if used together with
libsqlite3-0 from experimental (3.5.1-1). The program works correctly
with the versions in testing and unstable (3.4.2-1, 3.4.2-2).

The following error mesage is printed to the console:

*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/liferea-bin: free(): invalid pointer: 0x08514040 ***

This error apparently kills the db thread in liferea, so that it never
gets to the point of showing the UI.

If I set MALLOC_CHECK_=2 then glibc calls abort on detecting this
error. Using gdb to set a breakpoint on abort I get a most unhelpful
backtrace:

Breakpoint 2, 0xb7322ff6 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0  0xb7322ff6 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0xb7363c15 in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2  0x00000001 in ?? ()
#3  0xb7e86bb4 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0
#4  0xbfc50588 in ?? ()
#5  0xb7e86bb4 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0
#6  0x00000000 in ?? ()

The addresses inside libsqlite3.so.0 are in the data section of the
library (they're consistently offset 0xbb4 into it, actually) from
which I deduce the stack is getting corrupted.

Any help on debugging this or pointers on how to track it would be appreciated.
