Bug Description
Hi,
Today I updated my 8.04 system with the updates reported by the update manager. There were 94 updates overall. During the update few of the packages like compiz, gnome-system-tools etc failed reporting malloc error (displaying a memory map).
After the upgrade, I was not able to open any applications (when I tried on the command line it was crashing with the same memory map).
And reboot makes my system dead :( .. I cant even login to the single user mode since spawning of shell is itself crashing.
I was not able to copy the memory map when the apps were crashing.
Every update (each day's) is updated on my system. So the system contains all the lastest packages.
As of now I am going to download Alpha 6 and install from scratch..
thx.

I can confirm on an AMD64 system as well. Only 6 or so packages updated in the last couple of hours and left my system in a dead state. (I was testing to see if the latest 2.6.24.12.22 version of linux-image- 2.6.24- 12-generic had the sound drivers fixed, bug 200338.)
After reboot into 2.6.24-12-generic, it stalls at "Starting system logging daemon...".
Switching to second virtual console, typing in my user name results in "general protection" faults on all the security/pam_* modules. Don't even get to the password prompt. Just thrown back to a login prompt.
:(
