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

***MEMORY-ERROR***: [896]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes 
(alignment: 512): Function not implemented

/bin/sh: line 7:   896 Aborted                 (core dumped) 
`/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap

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?


Ciao,
  Angelo.
