bash malloc() errors w/cron
Hi there. I've got bash 2.05a-3 installed on my testing machine, and I'm receiving the following error every night:
Subject: Cron <root@extrovert> test -x /usr/sbin/logcheck && nice -n10 /usr/sbin/logcheck
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>

malloc: /home/swt/doko/export/packages/bash/bash-2.05a/make_cmd.c:67: assertion botched
malloc: block on free list clobbered
Stopping myself...
I don't know enough about this error to make anything of it. I don't *have* a /home/swt directory, but this seems to at least be somewhat related to the problem discussed in http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/debian-devel-200112/msg00230.html. FWIW, this machine has an Asus P5A-B motherboard (BIOS revision 1010), 450MHz AMD K62 processor, and 256MB RAM.
