hi: Few days ago. i upgraded few packages like k3b, kdelibs etc from etch. after doing so my gnome apps not working well. below is the error message when running gedit as normal user. -- *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08219f50 *** --- If i run gedit by: export MALLOC_CHECK_=1 && gedit. It runs normally but only few minutes i can work on it then crashes. Help Paras.
