After this update my GTK builds of Emacs trunk do not work any more. For
example, the bootstrap of rev. 113816 I did yesterday and that worked
fine up to before this update, now fails so:
$ emacs -Q &
[1] 3044
***MEMORY-ERROR***: [3044]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes
(alignment: 512): Function not implemented
[1]+ Aborted (core dumped) emacs -Q
So, after this update, I tried a new bootstrap (rev.113838) but id fails
in the same manner:
if test "no" = "yes"; then \
rm -f bootstrap-emacs.exe; \
ln temacs.exe bootstrap-emacs.exe; \
else \
`/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap || exit 1; \
test "X" = X || -zex emacs.exe; \
mv -f emacs.exe bootstrap-emacs.exe; \
fi

Probably this issue affects also the Cygwin (GTK) package of Emacs..
It seems that the workaround is to start Emacs with G_SLICE=always-malloc,
$ G_SLICE=always-malloc emacs -Q &
Ken, wasn't this issue fixed upstream some time ago?
