Bug#365537: libc6-i686: malloc() corruption messages should print PID and path to executable

[Johan Walles <johan.walles@gmail.com>]

Package: libc6-i686
Version: 2.3.6-7
Severity: wishlist


Since today my testing installation won't start X anymore.  I 
realize this most probably is *not* glibc's fault.  At virtual console 7 
I get:

"
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x084af780 ***
"

Unforturnately that doesn't tell me what program it was that got its 
free list messed up.  I would like that error message to include (in 
addition to the above information):
* The PID of the problematic program.
* The path to the executable for the problematic program.

That way I could at least tell what program it is that doesn't work.  
As it is now, I can only *guess* at GDM, but I'd prefer to actually 
*know* what program it is that doesn't work any more.
