[Bug libc/4630] assertion failure in do_check_malloc_state caused by the non-continuous case in sysMALLOc()


------- Additional Comments From bugzilla1 at malloc dot de  2007-06-18 15:00 -------
I just checked glibc-2.6 malloc.c and current ptmalloc2.
The only way I can see that _int_free() calls malloc_check_state()
is through malloc_consolidate() and that only after initializing
state.  So, this seems rather strange.  Could you please post a
complete backtrace from the failed assertion?

I'm not dismissing your claim, but I'd like to understand the
problem completely before patching.

Please also note that compiling glibc with MALLOC_DEBUG costs
an awful lot of performance.  I believe it happened by mistake
recently for a released version, but that should be corrected
by now.
