amule crashes on screensaver?
« on: May 06, 2006, 09:02:43 PM »

Lately my amule has been crashing pretty frequently - I think it started happening about a week ago, after the latest series of "updates" from Apple.  It seems to routinely crash when the screensaver is triggered, although it has spontaneously crashed at other times.  But the console (see below) suggests it might be something else?

Not sure what I can do to help debug this - I've attached the crash log, and here's what appears to be the relevant console output:

HTTP download thread ended
amule(10236,0x2017a00) malloc: ***  Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0xb009c8f5; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug

Take a look at this post in another thread for a way to help diagnose where those malloc warnings are coming from.  You'll need the Developer Tools (a.k.a. Xcode Tools) installed.  Let us know what you find out.
