Bug#187469: libc6.1: gnome-system-log crashes in malloc.c

[Jens Bech Madsen <jbma@stibo.com>]

Package: libc6.1
Version: 2.3.1-16
Severity: normal

gnome-system-log fails to run and since the trace ends in malloc.c I
figure this might be a glibc error.

I am using the Gnome debugging libraries as well as libc6.1-dbg.

Trace:
